Art Wilde - Can't Wake Up

Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I thought
Nothing's quite what it seems
But I'm still here shooting my shot
Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I had
In mind when I went to sleep
Now I can't wake up
I was stuck on the sidelines
People tryna tell me how to live my life
All they got is they guidelines
This is my ride, and I do what I like
Ya dig?
At Fourteen teacher told me that I couldn't sing
Wasn't worth it he said I should just give it in
Didn't even have music dreams back then
But it got me feeling like fuck it Imma show him
Motherfuckers always fussing over stupid shit
Like this life ain't a gift - where yo common sense?
Common folk maybe broke but we rich where it matter
And the latter's what I gathered when I moved
Across the globe just to give you my soul
In the Studio I be coping with ghosts
But onstage I'm yo host with the most
Fabricate a forced smile hope I never overdose
Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I thought
Nothing's quite what it seems
But I'm still here shooting my shot
Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I had
In mind when I went to sleep
Now I can't wake up
Don't worry my memory kinda blurry
But I don't do drugs no more
Kinda funny when i focused on the money
I stopped spending at the liquor store
Drink no more alcohol
Became a herbivore
No more passing out in parking lots
Lost a bunch of weight
Started cleaning my plate
Feeling better but I still feel lost
Can you relate?
Oh wait - Are you full of hate?
Can't see the good
Just stuck on mistakes
Go and pump your brakes and
Do a double take, man
I don't be sleeping
Is this my fate?
Cold confession
An obsession with perfection maybe blessings
But you're cursed when your addiction is attention
Then you start slipping - soon you start sipping
Pray down the way you don't need resurrection
Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I thought
Nothing's quite what it seems
But I'm still here shooting my shot
Lately I been living the dream
But it's not quite what I had
In mind when I went to sleep
Now I can't wake up
Now I can't wake up
Now I can't wake up
Now I can't wake up
Lately I been living the dream
Now I can't wake, can't wake
