Witt Lowry - Reaper Lyrics






Yeah!

I just don't fit in with you other motherfuckers, just stuck in the same home
Only been livin' here for a day and look how I've grown
Can't make myself comfy, I'm better off all alone
And what's with all the wind? Since I've got here it's been blowin'
But fuck it, this'll do
And between me and you
I never planned on leavin' to tell you the damn truth
It's all a part of life, some things you just can't chose
You've never know I exist 'til you're sick and you can't move
It's either me or it's you, it's either you or it's me
I never could be the one you really want me to be
So different, but when I say, I eat when you can't eat
I sleep when you can't sleep, I breathe when you can't breathe
Take a second, let it resonate
I'm in everything you do, each and every day
I'm in everything you do, you are never safe
Yeah, you used to be the one, now you're second place, haha
Already doubled in size
Just give me a couple years, you'll never find me in time
Just keep eatin' and smokin' and drinkin', you're so kind
This body used to be yours, I'm sorry but now it's mine, and I

I eat when you can't eat, yeah
I sleep when you can't sleep, yeah
I breathe when you can't breathe, yeah
Always runnin', but you never run from
I eat when you can't eat
I sleep when you can't sleep, yeah
I breathe when you can't breathe
Always runnin', but you'll never run from me

I've been thriving in this environment provided by you to me, it's so beautiful
Explorin' every inch of your body, down to your cuticle
Waste your life away, every day you sit at a cubicle
I've been movin' into some other spots that are suitable, haha
I hear you clickin' those keys
I hear you talkin' to your doc, got an appointment at three
He's gonna tell you you have cancer—what he means is me
They perceive to tell you things that might make me leave, geez
Slow down! Why are you drivin' so fast?
Oh shit, it's a quarter past, go quick, foot on the gas
Get your ass up in that office, do everything that they ask
They question if you been smokin', don't lie, we know that you have
Deep breath, but you can't breathe
He wants to see in your chest, what's that? Time to say "Cheese!"
He can't believe what he sees, you can't believe what you see
I feel you're startin' to sweat, I feel the shake in your knees
Damn, I'm sorry that it's too late
He tells you "Chemo might help," but you won't be saved
The next trip we take, it only goes one way
You wasted half your life just so you get paid
And all the money that you made, shit, you can't take
So you leave it in your bank for your grandkid's sake
Been feelin' all of your pain, I feel the way that you ache
You used to wish you would die, how long did it really take? And I

I eat when you can't eat, yeah
I sleep when you can't sleep, yeah
I breathe when you can't breathe, yeah
Always runnin', but you never run from
I eat when you can't eat
I sleep when you can't sleep, yeah
I breathe when you can't breathe
Always runnin', but you'll never run from me

But you'll never run from me
Mm, but you'll never run from me

A couple months and now we lie in this bed
The chemo didn't work and now I've moved to your head
I see all of your thoughts, you think about being dead
You think about all the things you often wished you had said
Like a couple more "I love you," a couple more "I trust you"
A couple more nights prayin' to the one above you
You are never gonna be a single person but you
You spent your whole life in the mirror sayin' "Fuck you!"
Where you gonna run to? I hear the room cryin'
I wish that I could say, "You'll be okay," but I'd be lyin'
Can buy anything, but can never buy time
And it's sad that you only realize when you're dyin', shit
I can feel your lungs weaken
Who knew your last weekend would become your last weekend?
Family's in the room, I wonder what they been thinkin'
I feel your heart, it's so heavy, I feel your temperature's sinkin'
It's time, no one can keep you alive
The human kind make environment's perfect for me to thrive
I guess we both destroy the one thing that keeps us alive
So buckle up, motherfucker, it's time that we take a ride, so
DIE! I said DIE!
So many things in your life you would change, you just ran out of time

    He is reaper DIE DIE DIE oof

  10. m.... b....

    If you love Witt Lowry - REAPER like the video and make sure to subscribe to Witt, also make sure to follow him on social media.

  11. T.... G....

    Could we even think of how powerful and amazing a song would be if Witt and nf made a song together

  12. T.... ....

    I really dont know why people are sleeping on him, but I feel like it has something to do with his production, like maybe heavier 808 and more reverb on his voice

  13. A.... J....

    If you haven't listened to oxygin then you need to. This is from cancers perspective and oxygin is from his dad's

  14. X.... ....

    the perspective of death itself on his father... props witt this was beautiful

  15. D.... G....

    You can get a good frand

  16. G.... H....

    You are amazing. I love you!!!

  17. D.... M....

    Hearing the heart monitor as instrument in the background leaves a really bitter taste towards the end U_U

  18. R.... W....

    WITT LOWRY i'm italian, and you are the best... wow congratulations

  19. T.... S....

    my dick is big

  20. A.... F....

    At first thought it was Joyner Lucas. Diggin this song anyway! 😜✌

    A.... F....

    Alexis Farganis you know this song is about cancer right ??

    A.... F....

    @Kyle Larsen so that means I can't like or dig the song? I think he did an amazing job lyrically, so I'm confused

    A.... F....

    Alexis Farganis just making sure you are actually listening to the song

    A.... F....

    @Kyle Larsen lol ok song police 👨🏼‍✈️✌

  21. C.... G....

    "You used to wish you would die,how long did it really take " 💔

  22. e.... ....

    4:05
    4:05
    4:05
    4:05
    4:05

    e.... ....

    Lmao your profile pic does *not* go with this.

  23. M.... ....

    This song is absolutely terrifying and it's amazing. Witt makes you feel that's what really matters.

  24. J.... V....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼

  25. C.... G....

    This intro sounds really similar to last train home by lost prophets and I love it

  26. I.... C....

    Was here since your first album wassup Witt. Most of your original fans fell off but I'm still here. Didn't give up on you man ik you'd come back

  27. C.... K....

    I wish I could go to on eof his shows if I didn't have crippling anxiety, this dude has helped me through so much <3

  28. L.... C....

    "I eat when you can't eat. I sleep when you can't sleep. I breath when you can't breath." Are the most powerful words to this song. Because there are people out there going through this. Stay strong #Teamwitt

  29. D.... ....

    I definitely dig it though.

  30. D.... ....

    The intro kind of reminds me of last train home by lost profits.

  31. M.... S....

    Nice song, did something happen to Witt? He can't just wake up one morning and be like "ahh~ nice weather outside, today ima sing about cancer" that may happen but that is a low chance, 1 in a thousand... maybe a friend died or has cancer... (just sayng "cancer" makes me uncomfortable)

    M.... S....

    Pretty sure the song is about his dad, since he died from cancer

  32. X.... ....

    I breathe when you can't breatheeeeeeeeee

  33. K.... G....

    Dam Witt ain't playing around this time
    I felt that 2nd DIE
    If you did too, make this here blue

  34. F.... U....

    As someone who lost several family members to cancer and who works as a paramedic with lots of cancer patients this song hits me on another level. Witt you're just a new level of creative.

  35. I.... B....

    Dont stop or fall off witt

  36. K.... O....

    Instrumental?

  37. J.... H....

    You're definitely growing.

  38. J.... G....

    👍!👍!👍!👍!

  39. B.... S....

    Legião urbana - tempo perdido kkk achei que ia tocar um Legião no início

  40. M.... S....

    this song came out the day after my grandfather died of stage 3 lung cancer and stage 3 COPD.. love the music witt hits deep...

  41. M.... B....

    Almost lost my mother to cancer, can't stand the hurt!!! I could never lose her. She is the world!

  42. P.... ....

  52. E.... C....

    There’s soo many things in your life that you’d change, but you ran out of time...

  53. L.... P....

    The ending theme from 4:20 on reminded me of the song from Stranger Things lol

  54. J.... ....

    I heard this song on the bus and I nearly broke down there and then, since my grandfather died from cancer a month ago and this perfectly described the way his body was failing slowly.

  55. M.... S....

    Best song out of the album 🙌🔥

  56. N.... R....

    So many things in your life you would change, you just ran out of time

  57. D.... E....

    Damn felt this shit

  58. m.... ....

    First time listener and I love your music. You remind me a lot of NF.

    m.... ....

    They have some things in common, aggression and passion.
    But, witt has pain from relationships while NF suffers from everything I guess, every song he makes he must be angry about something haha

    m.... ....

    MR Suporter it’s a lot more than relationships buddy

  59. H.... ....

    My new favorite song

  60. D.... D....

    Even as I scrolled through the comments saying when he said die would give chills, when the part came I still got chills fckkkkk he's too damn good

  61. I.... M....

    This a deep song!! Wow!!💯

  62. P.... B....

    I can't be to only one who is crying when listening to this song.

  63. b.... ....

    The fucking chills you get when you get that this is about cancer and it's inevitability is insane.

  64. M.... K....

    Just incredible. Been a huge fan for quite a while, so amazing to get to see you peak higher and higher man

  65. A.... M....

    The first time ever that a song has made me cry. Well played, witt. Well fucking played.

  66. J.... E....

    Amazing!

  67. S.... ....

    1:40 Isn't life beautiful? I think that life is beautiful


    Banger btw <3

  68. F.... D....

    love these storyline songs like in kindest regards

  69. T.... 2....

    Idk why the die scream reminded me of that one Eminem bar

  70. s.... ....

    Fuck me Witt, the amount of emotion in your voice moved me more than any other voice ever has

    You're amazing

  71. r.... m....

    He deserves so much attention

    r.... m....

    Yeah he does 🙌🏻

  72. C.... D....

    Mark and I are going to be friends one day. :)

  73. T.... 9....

    Speechless.

  74. L.... ....

    I needed this for my brother who passed away not to long ago . Thank you Witt honestly I hope we can work together in the future .

  75. A.... D....

    One of the best from the album, if not the best

  76. D.... F....

    Am I the only one that didn't realize that this song is from the pov of "cancer" until half way through? I was so mind blown when it all clicked that I got chills and instantly had to start the song over #TEAMWITT

    D.... F....

    No, you're not alone xd I was completely mind blown when I realized he didn't speak in metaphors

  77. I.... ....

    When you realize the perspective he's telling this from, it's fucking chilling dude. And he does it very fucking well.

  78. M.... ....

    The chills

  79. d.... ....

    You're an amazing artist, your songs push me into the future and away from my toxic past. People get in their own heads and make you out to be a bad guy that you aren't and down you when you're most vulnerable after you've picked them up many times before with the up most care and respect. Never stop making music, never stop being you. #TEAMWITT

  80. b.... a....

    I just got chills.. this shit hit home foreal

  81. C.... ....

    This hits so hard, great song!!

  82. L.... T....

    Thank you

    I love both the song and the wallpaper <3 - <3

  87. S.... V....

    Just found you through NF & now you can call me obsessed. 😍 never stop doing what you’re doing. As pathetic as it sounds, us broken people need to hear our pain explained in understandable terms. In order to recognize & move on, we must first understand it. You & NF both do a great job of this.

    P.s. if you don’t agree with me that’s all good, but be nice. 🙏🏻

    S.... V....

    Should also listen to Lucidious

    S.... V....

    Welcome to the fam ❤

    S.... V....

    Junior Tavares aww thanks!

    S.... V....

    p j I’m on it

  88. E.... Y....

    A song about cancer, told from the perspective of the tumor, focusing especially on the existencial dread before death.
    I got 4 words for you, Witt.







    You're a fucking genius.

  89. C.... C....

    Already on REPEAT 🤘🎶🔥🔥🎶🤘

  90. A.... N....

    Holy shit. Gave me super bad chills. As expected from a real artist

  91. J.... ....

    I eat when you can’t eat.
    I sleep when you can’t sleep.
    I breathe when you can’t breathe.

  92. J.... ....

    4:05 *SO DIEEEEE!!!! I SAID DIEEEE!!!!!!*
    THIS FUCKING GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. HOLY SHIT.

  93. J.... ....

    I was super excited for this song because of the title thinking it was gonna be really hardcore and it is, just not the way I thought it was going to be. I absolutely love this track even though it’s actually really fucking sad. It gives me serious chills. The lyrics are out of this world, like this song is so WELL written. Sick af.

  94. R.... d....

    This song is ridiculous. Dude, Mark... You have an amazing gift. I'm glad you utilize it. I know it's most likely an outlet for your emotions and you kill it every time. Bravo man. Bravo.

  95. S.... a....

    Oh man i’m so miss you

  96. B.... D....

    Just saw this album and had to listen to the whole thing before bed and now it’s 3:00 🤦🏼‍♂️ greatest most underrated artist out here 🙏🏼 never fails to make meaningful shit that’s actually good 👌🏼

  97. s.... w....

    Bro your music is so inspiring

  98. A.... A....

    I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years, and I can’t describe how much I relate to this song. Every word, every beat. It kills me down to my core, but I love it.

    A.... A....

    It's about cancer

    A.... A....

    @Brandon Bailey it is about cancer, but that doesn't mean that others can't draw extra meaning from the words...

    If a song helps even where it wasn't intended to, that's still a good thing, and just makes the track that much more impressive :)

  99. C.... L....

    Awesome man

  100. A.... ....

    Reaper like the DAW?!?!!111!one
