What Is Lucidity?

It's like a color that you never thought existed
Blink and you might miss it
Or get dizzy and wake up
Shaken up from a crazy location that you had not imagined before
You went through the door
You turn back towards it
And suddenly you're back where you started
But a staircase has opened up
It's a dark place you don't go to much
And suddenly you got the opportunity to see the beauty through it
But you back off cause you're too damn stupid
Or maybe it's sloth
Maybe I been floating down the river of time
Maybe my big plans aren't worth the peace of my mind
Maybe I done lost a piece of my mind
Uh
Satan and God argue 'bout keepers and finders
Yeah
And I been feeling blind to my fate
Until I focus in
A world that I created
Plagued by illusions and I'm tryna break them
But I can't until I open my eyes

Where did the light go
I'm still in denial
No
If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through
Oh
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
(If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through)
(Oh)

Gaze at the fogged up mirror and what do I see
Don't think I recognize the man staring back at me
God, I feel like death warmed over but that shit ain't even half baked
And I got to be careful considering what's at stake
Cause even if burning the leaf it seems could put my mind at ease
Honestly I don't need another temptation trying to fulfill the prophecies
That I see every night while I stare at the sky
Devoid of color like Paradise and I traded eyes
Wait
That can't be right
Well you better check your sight
Because I'm not the man you thought
Rip out my subconscious thoughts
I don't care if my heart stops
Sometimes sacrifices must be made to reach a higher place
And if it's me then that's a shame

But what can you do
Oh
What can you do
Oh
If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through
Oh
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
I'm through
(If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through)
(Oh)
Yeah
