[Intro]
Damn
(Uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh)
Damn

[Chorus]
Sew my eyes shut so I can see no evil again
(Can see no evil again)
I am the beast that you pray not to see before bed
(See before bed)
Somebody said they were sick of me sayin' I'd rather be dead
(I'd rather be dead)
Well I guess that's just because you cannot comprehend
(Cannot comprehend)

[Verse]
I am the mage but I never thought I would see
(Never thought I would see)
So many kids who pretend they love Mr. Crowley
(Love Mr. Crowley)
Put down your mic before you end up being like me
(End up being like me)
Trapped in a black and white world you can see in any pic of me
(Any pic of me)
I was 17 walkin' in the middle of the street tryna get laid out
Daddy died and nobody knew why I just wanted to be with him under the ground, ayy
Turnin' the pages of my Kybalion
All of the intuition inside of me keeps on fightin' but I won't deny a fire inside of me I connect to the all and I am a molecule relative to the space and the (Time)

[Bridge]
Time runnin' out
I'm runnin' out
I'm runnin' out of reasons to die (Reasons to die!)
Keepin' on, I keep, keepin' on I keep
Tryna get to the bottom of why I'm alive
Time runnin' out
I'm runnin' out
I'm runnin' out of reasons to die
Keepin' on, I keep, keepin' on I keep
Tryna get to the bottom of why I'm alive

[Pre-Chorus]
(Uh, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy)

[Chorus]
Sew my eyes shut so I can see no evil again
(Can see no evil again)
I am the beast that you pray not to see before bed
(See before bed)
Somebody said they were sick of me sayin' I'd rather be dead
(I'd rather be dead)
Well I guess that's just because you cannot comprehend
(Cannot comprehend)

[Outro]
(I am the mage but I never thought I would see)
(Never thought I would see)
(So many kids who pretend they love Mr. Crowley)
(Love Mr. Crowley)
(Put down your mic before you end up being like me)
(End up being like me)
(Trapped in a black and white world you can see in any pic of me)
(Any pic of me)

Eric Whitney Ghoste (born April 15, 1991), also known as Ghostemane, is an artist from Lake Worth, Florida. He initially rose to popularity as a member of the now-defunct SCHEMAPOSSE—a group that included Lil Peep and JGRXXN amongst others. In a 2017 interview with No Jumper, Ghostemane said he decided to leave SCHEMAPOSSE as he wanted to grow as an independent artist, and didn’t want to be boxed in a certain group or movement.

In a 2016 interview with Metal Insider, Ghostemane stated that he was majorly influenced by metal bands such as Deicide, Death, Carcass, and Mayhem. He later got into hip hop groups such as Dirty Boyz, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Three 6 Mafia. He listed bands like Circle Takes the Square and The Number Twelve Looks Like You as additional inspirations in a 2016 statement to Masked Gorilla.

Ghostemane has numerous side projects. These include his lo-fi black metal project Baader Meinhof, and his experimental noise project GASM.
