Eric Dutton - The Dream 2023

I guess folding was the wrong move
Depression in spades, and it isn't my strong suit
My heart is like a diamond getting clubbed to death
It's such a mess, all you see until there's nothing left
Is the blood spatter the floors, the tears just as quick
A thick slice to the vein, make way for indecision
A decade in the making, the dream is so persistent
That even when I wake it's like it's making me wish that
I had taken my writtens and traveled the globe
Oh wait, I did that, and still my pad didn't blow
My mom and dad gonna know they ain't raise a quitter
From starshot to moonshot, I aim the dipper
My face is lit up from the light of the sun
My soul is like a rocket and I fire it up
I'm dying to bust through and out into space
And take a deep long breath, put a grin on my face
I'm dreaming still
After all this time
It's making me feel like the waves on the shore
I'm leaving here
After all this time
I swear there's no quit in me
Pick a star, doesn't matter, I'ma reach that thing
Going under like Atlantis with them Richat rings
Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, what a bar
Bang like I was Curry, got my under armor
Thunder harder, run the score up, I beat the snare
Dance to my own drums and meet you there
But please beware that I can leave in a second
Believe in the separate ways, that this journey could take us
Hurry, but wait up, am I worthy of this love
Down in the dirt, see these words that I pick up
They're just as downtrodden as me
How awful to see how loud y'all can just be
This was a moment of silence and that disrespect
Can take you anywhere you want but I'm a hop into bed
While you stay sleep, don't wake me, I'm dreaming the life
I could do this in my z's, shh, deep in the night
I'm dreaming still
After all this time
It's making me feel like the waves on the shore
I'm leaving here
After all this time
I swear there's no quit in me
Wish I could choose to be happy
It's so elusive and can't he just maybe loosen the sadness
And use it as strength, it's time to pick up the pen
Round fifty-one with my demons, I'ma enter again
Close the ring off, it's cage-match, death toll
I'm about to pop off, making these heads roll
Best know, I'll give it my best go
Till I said whoa, it's Eric Dutton, I guess so
I'm letting it go because I can't hold on
To that same feeling within me when I made that song
I was, full of hurt, pride, hope, and light
I told you I thought that I was destined for greatness
Eighteen years old, and never could wait
But never will make it, but the dream remains
Inside burning like a flame eternal
Now I'm levitating over all these crazy hurdles
I'm just makin' sure that I can save the world
Or should I keep dreaming
I'm dreaming still
After all this time
It's making me feel like the waves on the shore
I'm leaving here
After all this time
I swear there's no quit in me
I'm dreaming still
And I hope it never fades
No, I hope it never fades
