Dilated

Lemme take you to a place where ideas live instead of die
And surprises come tied with a ribbon every time
And I never get lost when I'm drifting through my mind
Over cliffs too difficult to climb
Cause you the only way outta my head
Usually I'm trapped
Layin in my bed
Only move to get a snack
See I made a couple friends
But I lose em to the fact
That I leave em on read or don't choose to hit em back
See you snoozin then you losin, it's a fact
In my mind sticks and stones don't do shit, but words leave bruises
Started off as a spark now we burned the fuses
Cause even when we at fault we prefer excuses huh

Sometimes I wonder why's this world so jaded
Too deep inside my mind, and I can't take it
Til I look up in the sky with my eyes dilated
Only time I'm feeling fine when my eyes dilated
Sometimes I wonder why's this world so jaded
Too deep inside my mind, and I can't take it
Til I look up in the sky with my eyes dilated
Only time I'm feeling fine when my eyes dilated

I said
Half my friends graduated, half my friends havin babies
Some of em show no love, most of em congratulate me
I ain't gon sit around and act like it don't fascinate me
How most of my homies goin ghost, Patrick Swayze
That's the way we - roll, it start to take a toll
How I never stay in control, I'm tryna play my role
But I never fit in the mold, platinum silver and golds
All I ever dream about, part of me proceeds to doubt
Cause oddly enough a lot of shit don't ever even out
Prolly cause of all of the information they leavin out
Really I just hope it don't lead to bringin my demons out
Or that my vision gets any cloudier when I see the clout
Cause baby I know what it means to be down n out
It's like this circle never ends, it's a roundabout
Shit don't always make sense gotta sound it out
Cause all that glitters ain't gold babe

Sometimes I wonder why's this world so jaded
Too deep inside my mind, and I can't take it
Til I look up in the sky with my eyes dilated
Only time I'm feeling fine when my eyes dilated
Sometimes I wonder why's this world so jaded
Too deep inside my mind, and I can't take it
Til I look up in the sky with my eyes dilated
Only time I'm feeling fine when my eyes dilated

Wish somebody woulda told me that this life is never fair
Maybe it's my fault maybe I was ill prepared
Baby if you call promise you that I'll be there
There's nothin else under the sun to me
Wish somebody woulda told me that this life is never fair
Maybe it's my fault maybe I was ill prepared
Baby if you call promise you that I'll be there
There's nothin else under the sun to me
