[Tones]
Got my eyes closed to reality cuz the truth hurts
If I could only explain it in a few words
It's all I really have, it means so much to me
It's fleeting but only for a moment, dream comfortably
Like my son and me, they can never touch the love
Becoming more myself than I ever was
Memories engraved in my mind like your eyes
All the answers I been trying to find are lifes wise
You heard my rhymes, a tear drops as your face wash
If I could go a day without the pain or raindrops
It might go away now there's nothing left to say
All I'm left with is remnants of yesterday
It would all be different if I could see the future
But I can't stop strippers from calling me a loser
I fought it off but the torture's flown within
At the end of the day with dust in the wind
[Hook - lyrics from Kansas "Dust In The Wind"]
I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pa** before my eyes, a curiosity
[Tabs]
I know the truth cuz I was told a lie
I've seen forever the dream was never suppose to die
Can't even focus with my optics opened wide
So for a moment I close my eyes to find the hope inside
Emulsion an ocean tide, try to override it's hard enough
Then somehow I got to figure out which god to trust
One minute we're indestructible like an armor truck
The next minute we're insignificant piles of carbon dust
f** this life it's such a mess
So I clutch a mic, I must be right cuz there's nothing left
It ain't funny, you could die soon cuz it's sudden d**h
And all that money couldn't buy you another breath
Just expected dust caught in a Zephyrus path
Fed it to my better half but I know it never lasts
No one gets a pa**, life is strictly pain
Til we return to the dust from which we came
(Hook)
[Cliff Clavin]
This ain't a song I'm just talking to the beat
Walking through the streets while my mind run deep
Ayo this life's a cycle, and the cycle a maze
As time pa** by the only cautions has changed
But it's all the same from the struggle and pain
And peep the overcast and it's looking like rain
Ayo my vision cloudy through the bottom of a bottle
f** a dollar and a dream, yo this sh** is just a motto
Wish I didn't have a conscious, I'd be good and a master
On some old wild west, straight getting my catch up
Ignorance is bliss and I ain't smile for weeks now
All up in the game steady chasing the rebound
These just some thoughts that's in my head when I be stressing
Vocalize to open eyes and open ears in every session
Every year's another lesson, every beer's another mess
And every fear will make you less unless you get up for the test
(Hook)
