Fake Dreams

Yeah, yeah, oh, these fake dreams Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
What if this is better than we imagined? What if the love outweighs the sadness

What if March was the only madness? What if our heart was the Atlas
What if no dream was too big and every time you sinned, you learned from it
Is that when you start to live? When I get low, I get high again
One day at a time, my friends. At last, I traded my past for pens

I buried the old me six feet from within. Now I'm so tall I see over the wall of Berlin
Heavily guarded dogs, wire, and landmines. Put me in a cage, you can't trap mines
Handcuffs are fine when my words rhyme. I'm only paying the time if I did the crime
Blowing this beat through a wind chime. Trying to get better to climb

So I wrap in vines for fragile kinds, scared to speak their mind
Afraid of the fate of people's hate. I'll keep saying it till we make a change
Cause I know it's never too late if we never quit today
All of these fake dreams keep me up at night

I can feel them erasing what makes me feel alive
I'm out on the edge. Don't know what's pretend and what is real in my mind
Maybe these fake dreams are nightmares in disguise. Oh, fake dreams
Your destination is what you'll always get if you strive for it

Don't wait for it to come. Build your kingdom from freedom
If they don't need you, you don't need them. Real ones will find you wherever you're from
Find what you fate. Sports or an art play. To me, they're the same
Following your dream is the game. It's how we stay sane

I get lost in thoughts in my brain. Wondering for you if it's the same
We can all relate to pain. But we can get through if you look at what you overcame
You make a mistake, take the blame. There's only shame if you proclaim
That the shot wasn't your aim. Telling the truth is how you explain

At the end of the day, your word is your name. Trust is gained from doing what you say
So if it gets taken away, know it was your choice you made
Fact and opinion are not the same. I don't care if I find fame
I want to be heard so we can create the change. This is the movement. Make your name

All of these fake dreams keep me up at night. I can feel them erasing what makes me feel alive
I'm out on the edge. Don't know what's pretend and what is real in my mind
Maybe these fake dreams are nightmares in disguise
Fake dreams

These fake dreams
