I had a bad dream Woke up and prayed it was not so Stare at a cracked screen Turns out the dream it was only a part of the things that I rival High as a kite Creeping with fright I'm breaking in two And the only thing that can fix me is dreaming with you You, you settle my mind And you steady the wheels that I've turned all my life I had a vision Things I had done that came back to haunt Me in my fiction Planting the seed in my head 'til I Captured the right words to tell you High as a kite Creeping with fright I'm breaking in two And the only thing that can fix me Is dreaming with you You, you settle my mind And you steady the wheels that I've turned all my life I'm breaking in two And the only thing that can fix me Is dreaming with you You, you settle my mind And you steady the wheels that I've turned all my life

You made me feel like it's a bad dream Just a world that I imagined The truth wouldn't sink in But my chest started sinking And I wished it was a bad dream I'd wake up like nothing happened And everything Would be alright You were a beautiful distraction Gave reality my absence Consumed all my hours Filled my lungs up with flowers You left so many that I can't breathe I feel heavy, I feel empty But everything Will be alright You will hear me say, goodbye my love You will hear me say, goodbye my love It's like I'm living in a bad dream Close my eyelids, but I can't sleep And times that I savored Became time that was wasted And I wished I could go backwards Before love was just nostalgic And everything Would be all right You will hear me say, goodbye my love You will hear me say, goodbye my love You will hear me say, I'll be on my way Any day now You will hear me say, I'll be on my way Any day now

Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid Skippin' class tryin' not to get caught?

I hide behind my madness Outside, inside, I'm damaged Suicide, it might get tragic Maybe it's a bad dream, maybe it's a bad dream Every time I look at me I try so hard but I can't seem To find a shred of decency But maybe it's a good thing, it's a good thing Addicted to my sadness Just another of my bad, bad habits This shit gets hard to manage Manic-depressive, sociopathic I attract mistakes like a magnet Chase pussy like I'm playing in traffic 'Til I crash it, end up in a casket Maybe it's a good thing, is anybody listening? (Yeah) Double fisting, driving like I'm drifting (Yeah) Drunk, spinning on a couch, bitch, I'm Rick James (Yeah) Half demon, half saint, that's a split-screen Glad to be insane, mad for existing I'm giving up 'cause I don't believe I'm ever gonna find a better part of me I'm showing out, only what they see I'm always running circles when I try to leave This broken soul, but I can't let go And I lose control when I'm on my own again My childhood never lasted My pain is everlasting I'm flying, but I'm crashing Maybe it's a bad dream, maybe it's a bad dream When it's all in front of me I make a mess of everything I fuck it up in spite of me Maybe it's a good thing, it's a good thing There's a hell at the bottom of the well Where I drown to myself and the drugs won't help Swimming in my troubles but I'm not Michael Phelps Ain't no medals for the double, ain't no winning so I dealt Strapped to a Kamikaze plane, killing Nazis Decking paparazzi, the cops can't stop me Not even the government want problems with my posse Sixteen shots, got 'em shook like Mobb Deep Send a SWAT team, I'm too fly to swat me (Yeah) Let the block beat, swinging like I'm Rocky (Yeah) With my back against the wall, you couldn't box me Live fast, get cash, car crash, die free I'm giving up 'cause I don't believe I'm ever gonna find a better part of me I'm showing out, only what they see I'm always running circles when I try to leave This broken soul, but I can't let go And I lose control when I'm on my own again
