[Verse 1]
Pages flip, but they won’t stay read
See a scene, then I wake in the same old bed
Déjà vu in a cracked wristwatch
Second hand stuck, but it still ticks on
I spit lines I ain’t written yet
Hear my voice in a room I ain’t entered in
Every door just a rerun hallway
Every choice feels rigged in the raw way
[Chorus]
I’m the Book Lord, trapped in the margins
See the end first, bleed through the chapters
I live it once, then I live it after
Loop on loop, chasing truth, chasing answers
Break the spine, let the pages burn
I want the world that I can’t return
If this is fate, then I’ll flip that word
Cut through time, I’m the Book Lord (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Flash of a fight, then the bruise shows up
Saw her leave first, then she packed her stuff
Every smile got an echo behind it
Every tear, man, I’ve already timed it
Bars I write, I recall from a dream
But the dream was a memory that I ain’t seen
Is it me or a script in a bigger hand?
Ink on my skin like a prison brand
I keep notes in the margins of yesterday
Scribble “run now” but my feet stay
Hear the crowd chant words I ain’t said yet
Then my mouth opens, and the lines get said, bet
[Chorus]
I’m the Book Lord, trapped in the margins
See the end first, bleed through the chapters
I live it once, then I live it after
Loop on loop, chasing truth, chasing answers
Break the spine, let the pages burn
I want the world that I can’t return
If this is fate, then I’ll flip that word
Cut through time, I’m the Book Lord (hey)
[Bridge]
Is this life or a long preview?
Every “brand new” feels like “I knew”
If I rip this page, does the scene fall through?
If I scream right now, does it change my view? (woah)
[Chorus]
I’m the Book Lord, trapped in the margins
See the end first, bleed through the chapters
I live it once, then I live it after
Loop on loop, chasing truth, chasing answers
Break the spine, let the pages burn
I want the world that I can’t return
If this is fate, then I’ll flip that word
Cut through time, I’m the Book Lord (Book Lord)
