20syl - Half a Dream lyrics

Eighteen years in the making Her heart is heavy in fear of it breaking And every tear is an awakening Its brings her nearer she appears to be taken in By the sight of a girl she doesn't recognize Her own image yo how could she forget those eyes Probably cus the one that's behind them Has grown a little weary of the One who designed them All she ever wanted was to feel pretty She pours pain in her heart till it spills pity Blind to her own masterpiece She hangs pictures on the wall Of people she would rather be This isn't how it has to be Visit pa** the screen See how they fit false images in magazines Media type magic photo shop press See how it looks like plastic yo its not flesh She's a product of the products they sell Another project in a marketing cell And it's getting even harder to tell Herself her bodies beautiful Trying to copy what computers do That don't mean nothing Wasting your time Looking for something you'll never find Look through the make up It's not what it seems When will we wake up from half of a dream His wallet size is a call to the eyes of most women Plus the car that he drives and his bold living Meant to symbolize he's goal driven Now He's starting to wonder Why everyone he knows is gold digging From his home living to his bar hoping Wherever he is he knows his credit cards got him Feeling like a star shopping With the fear of rock bottom Steering his wheels and not stopping Yeah he got problems but he won't let them find him He'd rather not solve them then let them redefine him See he can't see behind them only his need to hide them Within his dreams he ties them On to everything he's buying He sees an item he makes a purchase Never seeing inside him that there's a greater purpose And everything he's paid for is straight worthless If what he's made for doesn't break surface He's a product of the products he sells Another project in a marketing cell And it's getting even harder to tell Himself from his merchandise The search for gold ain't worth your life That don't mean nothing Wasting your time Looking for something you'll never find Look through the make up It's not what it seems When will we wake up from half of a dream No one ever said it was easy Life will break you down if you let it But you gotta work But you gotta work through it somehow I know how you feel believe me You got to make a point to just stand your ground The time is now without a doubt We'll get through it and figure it out That don't mean nothing Wasting your time Looking for something you'll never find Look through the make up It's not what it seems When will we wake up from half of a dream
