The Dream (2023 Version) Lyrics

I guess folding was the wrong move

Depression in spades, and it isn't my strong suit

My heart is like a diamond getting clubbed to death

It's such a mess, all you see until there's nothing left

Is the blood spatter the floors, the tears just as quick

A thick slice to the vein, make way for indecision

A decade in the making, the dream is so persistent

That even when I wake it's like it's making me wish that

I had taken my writtens and traveled the globe

Oh wait, I did that, and still my pad didn't blow

My mom and dad gonna know they ain't raise a quitter

From starshot to moonshot, I aim the dipper

My face is lit up from the light of the sun

My soul is like a rocket and I fire it up

I'm dying to bust through and out into space

And take a deep long breath, put a grin on my face

I'm dreaming still

After all this time

It's making me feel like the waves on the shore

I'm leaving here

After all this time

I swear there's no quit in me

Pick a star, doesn't matter, I'ma reach that thing

Going under like Atlantis with them Richat rings

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, what a bar

Bang like I was Curry, got my under armor

Thunder harder, run the score up, I beat the snare

Dance to my own drums and meet you there

But please beware that I can leave in a second

Believe in the separate ways, that this journey could take us

Hurry, but wait up, am I worthy of this love

Down in the dirt, see these words that I pick up

They're just as downtrodden as me

How awful to see how loud y'all can just be

This was a moment of silence and that disrespect

Can take you anywhere you want but I'm a hop into bed

While you stay sleep, don't wake me, I'm dreaming the life

I could do this in my z's, shh, deep in the night

I'm dreaming still

After all this time

It's making me feel like the waves on the shore

I'm leaving here

After all this time

I swear there's no quit in me

Wish I could choose to be happy

It's so elusive and can't he just maybe loosen the sadness

And use it as strength, it's time to pick up the pen

Round fifty-one with my demons, I'ma enter again

Close the ring off, it's cage-match, death toll

I'm about to pop off, making these heads roll

Best know, I'll give it my best go

Till I said whoa, it's Eric Dutton, I guess so

I'm letting it go because I can't hold on

To that same feeling within me when I made that song

I was, full of hurt, pride, hope, and light

I told you I thought that I was destined for greatness

Eighteen years old, and never could wait

But never will make it, but the dream remains

Inside burning like a flame eternal

Now I'm levitating over all these crazy hurdles

I'm just makin' sure that I can save the world

Or should I keep dreaming

I'm dreaming still

After all this time

It's making me feel like the waves on the shore

I'm leaving here

After all this time

I swear there's no quit in me

I'm dreaming still

And I hope it never fades

No, I hope it never fades
