[Intro - Spoken Word, Urban Folk] I had a dream, and it cut deeper than the world I woke up to. A place without envy or knives in the back, where silence wasn't hiding violence. [Verse - Melancholy Flow] I had a dream where people thought, not just shouted what they’d been taught. Where no one bled to be heard, and roses bloomed with every word. Kids played where no lines were drawn, on streets that smiled instead of mourned. And the trees grew wide and kind, no chainsaws waiting just behind. [Verse - Reflective + Build] But then I woke — and there you were, your face ripped up like truth laid bare. Only your eyes could cry the blood, your skull cracked open in the mud. Smashed against that concrete bed, a slap that twisted both your head and everything you thought you knew — 'cause life don’t warn before it screws you. [Pre-Chorus - Whispered Reality] You build, then break, fly high, then fake. You swear it’s real, but it’s all opaque. Illusions tattooed in your mind, faith for when there’s nothing to find. [Chorus - Strong, Conflicted] AND I JUST DON’T GET WHY SO MANY TURN DESIRES INTO DREAMS BUT NEVER DARE TO TRY — AND MAYBE, MAYBE SOMETIMES I DON’T EITHER. (I DON’T EITHER) (DON’T EITHER) [Verse - Gritty] Be careful when you run too fast, you might smash into yourself. Dreams are made of sand, if not by waves or wind, they’re wrecked by time. But friend, these are the fucking tricks life loves to play. [Bridge - Raw Acoustic] We preach what we don’t live, we fear what we could be. I’ve seen hope become addiction, and faith become excuses. [Chorus - Final, Elevated] AND I JUST DON’T GET WHY SO MANY TURN DESIRES INTO DREAMS BUT NEVER DARE TO TRY — AND MAYBE, MAYBE SOMETIMES I DON’T EITHER. (DON’T EITHER) (DON’T EITHER) (I KNOW) [Outro - Spoken, Reflective Decay] And if one day I stop the race, it won’t be fear — just facing grace. Maybe I’ll meet what’s chasing me, instead of always trying to flee. [instrumental end]
