[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)
