letra de page turner - the myth of ken

[chorus]
time p-sses, like pages turn
claiming a spot in the memories we earn
and at the end, it never feels right
losing that book that you sped through last night
and when its gone, it feels all wrong
the story wasn’t supposed to end with that song
another page another day another minute
before you close the spine

[verse 1]
my only brother doesn’t get enough attention
he’s the best you wouldn’t know it cuz i never mention
i hide him away ashamed of what i could say
afraid of showing i got nothing on his tension
his dad, my uncle, never had any brains
he left him early enough, and reconnection was vain
i was the only man he had in his life that wasn’t useless
but i left him at 13, full of my excuses
he stayed strong; way more than i was
we saw each other every now and then but not enough
we used to sleep in the same room; the same light
the same bunk beds knowing that it’s alright
we talked all night; he woke up first thing
always laughin’ and jokin’ about the worst things
to me hes still that kid waking up early; but hes aged
i don’t wanna turn this page

[verse 2]
my best friend hasn’t seen me in 6 months
he’s livin’ his dream; and i’m just stuck in the same rut
we barely talk; we don’t seem close like we used to
its all my fault, but maybe it was his fault too
we broke apart as soon as he made the decision
to leave from this sh-tty city and see the world in a submarine
he wanted greatness and science; i wanted static
he was a changing man; and now hes at it
don’t want to pull him back but d-mn am i falling apart
he seemed to be the only torch that could carry my spark
we used to drive late talkin’ that bullsh-t
and now we text as a tether some “how you been” sh-t
i get that time p-sses; i get that people change
but why am i the only stable person in this game
he’s got a girl and he’s happy with this stage
but i dont wanna turn this page

[verse 3]
i met this guy, summer ’17, got along quick
we liked the same comics and we rapped the same sh-t
we both had a lot of home problems
just wanted to smoke it away and talk volumes
we were never close, just some smokin’ buddies
we would meet up at the dealer’s house and help him load some gummies
we were hard workers; no hate; victim of the trade
til he called me 3am screamin’ my name
he had pulled the trigger f-cked it up and maimed himself
not enough to end it like he wished but he was claimin’ help
i rushed to his place for the first time to find him on the floor bleedin’ out
the ambi patched it out
he was fine for a year stayed himself for a minute
then he did it again and i wasn’t there
i heard him on the phone pull the trigger once more
a state away that sh-t wasn’t fair
i lost it, had to pull over throwin’ up
haven’t spoken a word about it since
i barely even knew him, can’t even remember his real name
but i don’t wanna turn this page

[outro]
i’m not lost here yet
i’m not lost
i’m not lost
i’m on the edge
i’m on the surface
i’m breakin’ down but
i’m not lost
i’m not lost
