Verse 1
Lone warrior in a land of fallen soldiers,
Climbing over those unloyal, live to see my actions foil
Walk alone, tend to do so by choice
Aim to be heard, yet afraid to use my voice
Make no sense, character has defects
Damn if I don’t know it, who the hell are you to point it out??
Insecurities on top of my doubts,
Combine the horrid thoughts, daydreams of being lost
In the darkness of the forest, hear the wildebeest roar,
Wake up Tre, time to fight anxieties
Pushing closed the door again to demons locked inside of me,
Rather enclose than to release
Holding to my last breath, tell me when it’s safe to breath
Eyes open, focused on the token
Bridges well broken, words never spoken,
Tell me when I’ve woken to a land that is golden
Hook x4
Wake up you were just starting to scream
Is it me or is this dream just a neverending nightmare?
Verse 2
Stay patient, anxiously awaiting
Mind keeps escaping, searching for a Graceland,
Nah Tre’s land, island all secluded
Yearn to be included but my heart can’t take the bruises
Best defense is not to let them on the field,
Wearing down my shield, please help me stop the screaming
Could tell that this is real because it feels as if I’m bleeding,
Talking internally, this is an emergency
No amount of surgery so leave me like the hermits be,
By my lonesome, jot another poem
Fix another cold one, drink until the snow comes,
Sun sets on my side, never rises
Clashing of the titans, bringin the excitement
Skipper’s no help if he isn’t on the boat,
Wanted to invite him, caught a tickle in my throat
And so the story goes, will she sink or will she float?
Hook x4
Wake up you were just starting to scream
Is it me or is this dream just a neverending nightmare?
