(chorus)*sung by Patrick Swayze*
"I look in the mirror
and all I see
Is a Young old Man
With Only A Dream"

(verse 1)
I keep my dreams alive, CPR in my sleep
I never follow trends I were my heart on my sleeve
I'm wild and wooly heartless like a childhood bully
I'd have a breakdown trying to recall my childhood fully
I get high to stop stressing at time's I'm hot headed
My eyes seen too much for my mind to processs it
I'll be chasing dreams until I'm passing them out
I'm want to lap em about 20 times and tackle em down
I want to be the rapper taking Apathy's crown
as the king of Connecticut when he's passin' it down
I want to be the ring leader laughin' at clowns
these thoughts keep racing by me goin' faster then sound
I got my hands full ... I'm holding a dream
hearing voices in my head but I don't know what they mean
They say they could help me, show me to a better path
but I can't understand they go silent when the devil laughs

(chorus x 2)

(verse 2)
I'm fixed in my ways but in ways I'm still broken
"this addiction's a phase" so I say when pills soak in
I'm sick of watching mom stressin' paying bills owing
Money to some big company and I just feel hopeless
I'm broke and I can't get the job I pray for every night
I guess it's time to find a better got who'd save me from this fight
Making me smile is an impossible task
I'm panicking where the xanax and kolonopin at?
I never had no golden years they more they copper and brass
I can't deal with this shit my life's a big colostomy bag
And sometimes I wish being sober was banned
I got the pressure of a God but I'm only a man
who's life is full of wretchedness desolate as heaven is
_if everyone who sins really never gets to enter it
Then Fuck it! meet me in the underworld, the netherworld
WE GONNA PARTY IN THE DEVILS WORLD!

(chorus x 2)

(verse 3)
Life aint sweet it's bitterness I'm like a senior citizen
My eyes have seen a little bit.. more than they were ment to ...
I'm old for my age to young for these gray hairs
ALL THIS FUCKING STRESS GOT ME GOING INSANE HERE!
Looking in the mirror to be honest I don't know that guy
I tried to ask the man above and I aint gettin no reply
"Imagine and dream, Dream and Become"
I'm keeping that in mind so I can keep goin' on
in this world all I got is a wing and a prayer
and I could only rise above if my thinking is clear
but that's okay ... my imagination has no limitations
I'm a royal pain inside the castle of creation!
changing my mind state, crossing the border
in a better train of thought no longer lost in disorder
tossing a quarter in the pay phone calling destiny back
cuz if I don't return her call I know I'll never relax



I did not write the chorus of this song, only the verses.

so, i checked the audio for this one, figured id drop a little something on the text too. 

like i said before, i made an audio using this same exact beat but i think i lost the audio when my backup drive failed. it was very different in content then this one though lol 

i like the theme of reaching higher goals. . the content is something that all can relate too in one way or the other. at times, i think the ryhme schemes feel a bit basic, but the flow and everything is fine. only small thing i could have hoped for was maybe some more multis and such, but the audio does this more justice then the text by itself. good work man
