But what's left?
Look at that smile, it's hanging so crooked
What happened to your heart, I hope nobody took it
Fishing for optimism I hope I hook it
I think last night god grabbed earth and shook it
But what do we do now, where do we go?
Are we just actors with parts in a show?
A scowl behind a greeting, the mirror is self defeating
There's spit in the food right now that you are eating
But you're the one who cooked it, you're the one who made it
Here's my DNA you can have it you can braid it
I seem to always leave through the emergency exit
I keep bravery at home in a drawer where I left it
I want to reply to all of the hate
But that'll just put more drama on my plate
So I'm going to be a hypocrite, I'ma be fake
Cause when I act like that more people relate
Hey! Are you a dreamer? Yeah
Are you a dreamer?
Haven't seen too many around lately
Things have been tough lately for dreamers
They say dreaming's dead and no one does it anymore
It's the perfect morning, listen to the rain chatter
In the shower feeling strange, guess my brain's scattered
Never been better and never been badder
Routine is a chasm, imagination is my ladder
Please lord, tell me what happened
I thought by now I'd be top 40 rapping
Maybe the problem is when you got something to say
That doesn't have to do with drugs and girls all day
They'll probably hold you down cause they numb them with them stations
Plus my country never been about education
Keep them at work, keep them not thinking
Keep them watching TV, fighting and drinking
Don't think out that box cause that box is fox
But cnn ain't no better than them
They don't explain war is raw like a vet's limb
They just ignore the truth like we do veterans
Hey! Are you a dreamer? Yeah
Are you a dreamer?
Haven't seen too many around lately
Things have been tough lately for dreamers
They say dreaming's dead and no one does it anymore
These fish here all belong in the river
And we all keep on fighting cause this city is prison
Act your age, play your part
Shit creek is filled with debt collecting sharks
Cicada in the day, crickets in the night
Cop cars and coffee, the soundtrack to my life
Last night I had a dream that the waves rolled in
Only ship I ever sunk was the one with my friends
At the end of 44th is a burgundy moon
Bats in the sky I hope they murder me soon
Want to climb a mountain, want to get away
I miss my grandma, wish she was alive today
16 bars ain't enough to solve my problems
But like she would have said go out and solve them
So that's what I'm a do, I'm a get through
If you want your dreams completed it's up to you
Hey! Are you a dreamer? Yeah
Are you a dreamer?
Haven't seen too many around lately
Things have been tough lately for dreamers
They say dreaming's dead and no one does it anymore
Hydra, swag, are you a dreamer?
I don't believe in god, I do believe in miracles
This life is a facade, come and let the spirit go
Lennon said reality leaves a lot to the imagination and I'm done with this vacation
Back to the creation, got my soul wandering
Truth a byproduct of conditioning, slowly laundering
Don't give a fuck about religion, don't care about philosophy
In the end we all equal but tricked into dichotomy
Life is not a lottery, life is not a chess game
Life is LSD, we hallucinate what the rest bring
Life is a heart attack and we forget about the chest pain
And I'ma live young then pass it on to the next, man
Dream about the next plane, physical not necessary
Ancient wonders realized, everyone is legendary
I don't have a life, all I have is ideas
They more real then I could ever be, I'm only alive if I believe them
Hey! Are you a dreamer? Yeah
Are you a dreamer?
Haven't seen too many around lately
Things have been tough lately for dreamers
They say dreaming's dead and no one does it anymore
