ATO - 94 Dreaming lyrics

[Verse 1] The frame ain't the same no more is it I painted this picture and let the words reflect my image Sometimes the truth hurts Like the first line of this verse I expected too much Thinking there were just like me I've got to start being selfish Helping others left me helpless Where the river Meets the stream Till the sky falls to its knees And I could sit here for hours This perspective Trespa**ing thoughts Behind locked doors That belong to thrown away keys You see Needing me or need me not Dictates your smile Falling into lines like I ain't heard from you in a while I'll be whoever you want Providing you put your mind to it Tryna buy my freedom Should it afford my pride I wish I could believe you But I can't There's too much on my plate Pour me another gla** Drowning in these sorrows Till I found peace with my past Drawn into a world where the flower is defined by the vase And that's young me by the windowsill With questions that view can't answer Guess it's too, early to say If what we've made are mistakes You just wanna, lose your mind To find your soul I just need to see the world before I call this home I used to run riot when I was young Confused, tryna distinguish where someone like me belongs When did I become the man The cool kid I was never that [Chorus] When they've learnt to love you for all but yourself Your deluded wealth undermines your coming so far Shattered gla** Family portrait suddenly find the present As we pick the past up And recall it as heaven It's never seemed so insignificant Everything you worked for Too precious to enjoy Ourselves we avoid These thoughts we employ Too much noise We just listen for the silence The sits between the sirens [Refrain] And I just found a place that no-one else knows Watch the sky reach till it lets go I've never been afraid to close my eyes before They'll paint you how they want to in the end I knew that you'd show Been caught up where you found me before Wanna go Somewhere only we would know [Verse 2] You I said thought I told you to stop dreaming But your reality never gave me the reason To stop believing I chose the darkest path To emancipate my own feelings Clouding the vision Distorting the meaning I mean its Clearer now than ever Growing up under pressure Nothings ever promised A slave for the word better If you see me you don't know me Stop pretending You never attended Not to mention I was left to put to bed all of my questions [Bridge] But I'll sleep on it Dream bigger New frame of mind The bigger picture Fingers travel scriptures Till we capsize I'ma keep running We sinning Pushed back to the beginning The past speaking to me like a family 20 minute visit Dreamt of this line last night Stood at some height Over the city, prepared to leave all these memories Behind Compromised by my Desire to make it all on my own You'll begin to sink in when you're stone We need a comparative perspective to be free Happy despite all that you haven't seen Scared to look for answers Coz you know what they might be 94 Dreaming Still looking for a mirror that I believe in [Refrain] And I just found a place that no-one else knows Watch the sky reach till it lets go I've never been afraid to close my eyes before They'll paint you how they want to in the end I knew that you'd show I've been caught up where you found me before Wanna go Somewhere only we could know [Chorus] When they've learnt to love you for all but yourself Your deluded wealth undermines your coming so far Shattered, gla** Family portraits suddenly find the present As we pick the past up And recall it as heaven It's never seemed so insignificant Everything you worked for Too precious to enjoy Ourselves we avoid These thoughts we employ Too much noise We just listen for the silence The sits between the sirens [Outro] Parallel
