I once had an idea, but I woke from the dream
And I stepped on the light bulb to see if I could feel
It’s so hard waking up, but not as hard as it is holding onto something that isn’t real
Wrote it down to remember it
Did you throw up? When it came back, did it take the words from your mouth?
Did it show you who’s boss when you took the day off?
Did it squeegee your third eye when you went down South?
Is it supposed to be beautiful or just the way you see it?
Is the way to love hard or is it hard enough?
Are the answers all clear, or is acceptance just a way out?
Do you fake it ‘til you make, or are you just acting tough?
Does it hurt when you need it?
Does it bleed when you touch it?
Does it matter when you mean it?
Does it work when you believe it?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Like a spaceship looking for a meaning on a planet
That has evolved in revolutionary seconds
Like an angry robot seeing red with no nuance
You work yourself blind ‘til you no longer see the light
