Hopudoshi - Reverie Lyrics

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank that
(Uh, oh)

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
(Oh, oh)

I remember staring at the ceiling
Up late nights, couldn't shake the feeling
That at 6 years old, I was ready for the cold
I was never carefree like the other children
Kitchen knife under the bed to use it
Ready to do it, but what if I blew it
Would it be quick, what if I hit a rib
Tonight's the night, I'd always pledge
But I was scared of that serrated edge

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank that
Serrated knife, oh

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank that
Serrated knife
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh)

Picture a boy contemplating life - death
The universe and what's worse - best
What's after this, I couldn't fathom bliss
And nothingness was worth the risk if I could have my wish
And this continued into adolescence
A troubled mind all the time, so I was bad at lessons
And gunshots on my block couldn't do me harm
I welcomed stray slugs like hugs in my open arms
But then it all changed
I'm thankful every day
That by God's grace
I finally found my way
And now I got my wife and kids to celebrate and
I'm glad my mom got the kitchen knives that were serrated

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank that
Serrated knife, oh

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank that
Serrated knife
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh)

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank my
Kids and wife, oh

I'm here to stay, and
I'm here for life, so
Now I thank my
Kids and wife, oh
