Gemstar

[Verse 1]
Contradict the "sticks stones break brittle bones" sayin'
I've been known to use words as razorblades
Some nights your crib was nothing more than a place to stay
A rest haven 'till the break of day
Break away from the same old same old
Monotony will drain the soul
Combat all vain attempts to gain control
The never ending struggle between, sun and moon
A peasant with no love for a queen, sun is doomed
To a foul existence, a foul lifestyle
The only thing that I'm concerned with is the right now
Momentary fulfillment
Spent nights messing with temptresses and questioning your real intent
What we had was beautiful, I can't deny that
Lost touch with the world, caught in your venus flytrap
Sidetracked, forgot all about my true love
Beats rhymes and L.I.F.E. Crew neglected fuckin' with you love
I know you weren't tryin' to hold me back, you told me that
But something brought the old me back, too cold to react
To the world around, numb from head to toe
Runnin' from myself, too selfish to let you know

[Chorus]
It started off so perfect, the shirt fit
Sure to lift the curse that lives beneath the surface
Sick of [?] with perverse urges
Nervous at first reminiscent of my first kiss
And I convinced myself that it was a love thing
We fucked for hours once the poison flooded my bloodstream
Kicked it everyday for weeks straight, no need for a break
Content in your presence and lost in a dream state
I reawaken, like "look at the time love"
Confined to your bedroom, lookin' to find love
Waste away the day lost in your smile
Escape the shades of gray at least for a while
(Come on)

[Turntablism: scratched vocal sample]
Her feelings was so--
Her feelings was so--so, so strong
Feelings was so--so--so, so strong

[Verse 2]
The reoccurring theme, find something so pure
Make believe it's love, everything ya hope for
So sure at the core it's all folklore
Curse the gods 'till your throat's sore
Eyeliner drippin' down your solemn face (solemn face)
I know you still hopin' there's a chance things'll fall in place (fall in place)
All for nothing, cursin' infidelity
I'm hollow inside and gotta fill the void with selfish need
Connect hips in repetition
Wet lips and move on to the next position
Sweat drippin' off your flesh slippin'
My decisions made in intoxicated states
The consequence your actions hit ya once you catch a slap across the face
Avoided phone calls from so and so, self-destruction
Set to drive off a cliff, crash and burn tell 'em nothing
A sucker for cheap thrills covered in silk sheets
Bitter sweet free will sleep, deceitful freaks
Left the queen behind for something less divine (less divine)
Fools rush in and lose interest in time
These are interesting times nothing sacred or pure
The moment the thrill is gone I'm headin' straight for the door

[Chorus]
It started off so perfect, the shirt fit
Sure to lift the curse that lives beneath the surface
Sick of [?] with perverse urges
Nervous at first reminiscent of my first kiss
And I convinced myself that it was a love thing
We fucked for hours once the poison flooded my bloodstream
Kicked it everyday for weeks straight, no need for a break
Content in your presence and lost in a dream state
I reawaken, like "look at the time love"
Confined to your bedroom, lookin' to find love
Waste away the day lost in your smile
Escape the shades of gray at least for a while
(Come on)

[Outro: scratched vocal sample]
She hit me in the heart
She hit me in the heart
She hit me in the heart
She hit me in the heart

She hit me in the heart
