Dream

I dream everyday with nothing in the end

I dream everyday with nothing, so pretend

I dream everyday but to defend it is hard

They’re gone. What can I say, these bright dreams are like shards

 

Separated with a line, separated with a path

Separated with false goals and separated with claps

Pieced them together without success, now do you hear me *****n’ rap?

Take me away, from my bitter game. Don’t you think that I’m just like the tree sap?

 

The more I succeed, the more lost I become

Take me to the pedestal, that’s where I belong!

 

In exchange, break those precious dreams until they’re gone

Do you hear me scream at the bottom? Just what the hell is wrong? (What)

 

I hear something call for me. It’s loud for me n’ I mute it

Is that a wise decision? Now my dreams fade like a rit.

Being at the top doesn’t allow dreams here

Why aren’t I satisfied? My mind’s not at rest, it ain’t clear

 

I did as I was told. I finished High School, went to a University, and got a degree

I have all the money in the world, I can get anything, but why is it that I am not free?

 

I’m so lost in the mirage, I’m so done with the mirage

Go to collage to be like the camouflaged

 

I’m so lost right now, what should I do? (so lost)

My mind and soul, no room for two

 

I’m scared, what should I do?

When I look at the bottom all I see is fear

Baby tell me now what should I do?

 

I’m so lost in the mirage

 

I’m so done with the mirage

 

*Beat rises and stops*

 

I’m done with the mirage

 

Chorus: (Beats drops)

~I want to know~

What’s it like down there. Why am I not right there?

Can’t help but fall~ (My love, my hope, my dream)

~I want to know~

~Can’t help but fall~ (My love, my dream)

~I want… to know~

Can’t help but fall~

 

(It’s so tempting isn’t it? To stay where you are) Oh~ oh~

(But the more you stay, the farther you are) oh~

 

(It’s so tempting isn’t it? To stay where you are) Oh~ oh~

(But the more you stay, the farther you are) oh~

 

*End of Chorus*

 

It’s so high up here, I can almost touch the sky

But it’s so **** cold, my fire can’t burn bright

I put myself up here, with no life, no dream

Worship me with your money, covered with sweet cream

 

To not see the true me is to conceal me with bright lights

I graduated with nothing but cleverly masked blights

Look at me with contempt, I’m so used to it

Yet you do nothing, don’t be a **** hypocrite

 

But why do you look at me when I can’t shine

None of your hateful stares compare to mine

Look at me now, I have money, look at me now, with my new Ferrari

Look at me now, I’m so **** unhappy

The dreams I shattered, shattered my mind.

I can’t see the bottom. I am confined.

 

My mind is whirling as I look down from my pedestal

What is this feeling? I ain’t a dove but a crow

It hurts so much, the feeling of my crushed dreams

My soul’s hungry for those crushed shards. Being rich ain’t the theme

 

I crawl to the floor to find the pieces to my dreams

Why did I do that, why did I fall for these dreams?

I can’t find them, I feel punished. Liquor is now, my only luxury

Laughter after laughter, drink after drink. I only pray that you won’t stop me

 

I feel as though I’m free of burden, but there’s this heavy feeling in my chest

The feeling of my dream slipping away. I realize I’m not my best, that I think less

To ease the pain, I rip the dream myself. What am I doing, what I did is obscure

I can’t hear anybody, the pain is taking over. I wonder if I can ever find a cure.

 

Then as I walked below the pedestal, I touched an instrument

I pressed it and I felt sure it’ll give me a hint

I finally found it, my dream, my life, my love

 

I’m so lost in the mirage

I’m so done with the mirage

 

*Beat rises and stops*

 

I’m done with the mirage

 

Chorus: (Beat drops)

~I want to know~

What’s it like down there. Why am I not right there?

Can’t help but fall~ (My love, my hope, my dream)

~I want to know~

~Can’t help but fall~ (My love, my dream)

~I want… to know~

 

Can’t help but fall~

 

(It’s so tempting isn’t it? To stay where you are) Oh~ oh~

(But the more you stay, the farther you are) oh~

 

(It’s so tempting isn’t it? To stay where you are) Oh~ oh~

(But the more you stay, the farther you are) oh~

 

*End of Chorus*

 

The pieces of my dreams formed into this

 

Despite how long it took for me, I can already feel the bliss

Playing in the streets feels more liberating than inside a caged office

Though I’ll sometimes go hungry, my dream is here

Look at me, what do you see? You see a tear

 

Falling from my face, I found it, my dream, my love

Now just you wait, I’ll rise from the nest… like a dove

Now just you wait,  I’ll fly up with pride and with honor

So if I’m humble, then I won’t ever feel sorrow

 

With my music, I’ll soar higher than the top (Oh~ Oh~ oh~…)

With my music, I know that I will never stop

 

(Beat rises)

 

With my music, I’ll soar higher than the top

With my music, I know that I will never stop (Oh~ Oh~ Oh~)

 

 

Chorus: (Beat drops)

~I want to know~

What’s it like down there

Can’t help but fall~

(Then as I walked below the pedestal, I touched an instrument)

My love, oh~ oh~

(I pressed it and I felt sure it’ll give me a hint)

My hope~  oh~ oh~

(I finally found it, my dream, my life, my love)

~Why am I not right there~

(I’m so lost in the mirage)

~I want to know~

(I’m so done with the mirage)

~Can’t help but fall~

~I want… to know!!!~

 

~I want to know…~

What’s it like down there

(Then as I walked below the pedestal, I touched a feeble instrument)

My love, oh~ oh~

(I finally found it, my dream, my life, my love)

My hope~  oh~ oh~

~Why am I not right there~

(I’m so lost in the mirage)

~I want to know~

(I’m so done with the mirage)

~Can’t help but fall~

~I want… to know~

 

*Beat fades*

 

~I want to know~

~Can’t help but fall~ (Oh~ oh~ oh~)

~I want to know~

~Now I know~
