Dreaming

(album: The Small Dark One - 2022)

Every day I give a little back
Every day I'm paying off my debt
(I lie away, confess they see me)
Take me back to that dream I had a while back

Every time I try to sleep
I toss and turn, then grind my teeth
Every day comes right after the last
Every day the sail falls through the glass
Every time I close my eyes, I feel the most alive
Every time I go to bed, it's loudest in my head

Every day I waste a little time
Every day I lose a piece of my mind
(I lie away, confess they see me)
Help me find that dream I had in 2009
(The one with the alligators and ninjas in it)

Take me back to rapping bout' shit that I care about
My mother wasn't aware of my whereabouts
In a new place, new city, new friends, some turn to enemies in the end
I've grown so much since making that song, don't play around me
Tell me to my face if you got something to say about me
I am not who they say I am very frequently
Every day I wonder why we can't be treated equally
I wish it was as simple as just shifting a frequency
Then we could fix all of our problems very easily
My family believes in me
And as of recently, I've been living peacefully
