Dreams
Song by Mogli the Iceburg
Sometimes when it's time to close my eyes
I don't ever wanna wake up
I'd rather stream in the world of my dreams
Than face reality that makes up
All the stress in my head
I don't know what I'd do instead
But maybe this way of life just isn't right for me
I try to play it smart by listening to my heart
I don't know if I can take it
I'm tearing myself apart
I struggle to hold my own, I'm trying to find my away
I'm tired of being alone and feeling so out of place
Got so much that's on my plate and somehow I'm still starving
Lost in the music and I can't even find my garment
I sit and reflect on all the people I met
And everything that I've done
And all the bridges I've burned
You either in or you out
And I ain't trying to denounce
But I'm just growing impatient for fate to hand me my turn
Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams
Late night text to my ex-girl
New inbox from my next girl
I wonder why I even bother when I think that women might be incompatible with my world
I mean I know that we in school now
I'd be naive to call it love
Even though I told you that I love you on some multiple occasions it was prob'ly out of lust
Padded friendship
Maybe I should end this
Maybe there's a future here between us and it's splendid
Maybe we can work it out and both pursue ambitions
But chances are there's only room for one of us with vision
And it ain't fair to you to always have to be my tag-along
And I don't want to end up unsuccessful but a vagabond
An ugly situation someone always has to lose
So if I have to choose your love over music I'm choosing you
Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams
I had a talk with my homie in the kitchen at a time when I was down
And I was thinking 'bout giving up on my dream that I had had when I was only sixteen
That's a quarter of my life and we trying to live it right but he told me that ultimately it's out of our hands
Everything that is to come is already written in God's plans
So we told me I should pay about it
And I'm like, I will, but in my mind I kind of doubt it
'Cause if my faith is predetermined then what is the point of working
What is the point of praying it's driving me all berserk and then pushing me to the point of breaking, faking
I'm good when you ask me, take it off my arm, I'm vulnerable when my demons harass me
Give me your grace because you know that I'm dead without it
My stubbornness and pride got me stuck
And my vision is clouded
So give me a hand and pull me out of this trench
Put me back on the path I’ll go wherever I’m sent
Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams
I don't ever wanna wake up
I'd rather stream in the world of my dreams
Than face reality that makes up
All the stress in my head
I don't know what I'd do instead
But maybe this way of life just isn't right for me
I try to play it smart by listening to my heart
I don't know if I can take it
I'm tearing myself apart

Got so much that's on my plate and somehow I'm still starving
Lost in the music and I can't even find my garment
