Dream Sequence by Apathy Lyrics
[Intro: Unknown?]
"Now there are all kinds of ideas that would be fun to believe in: Mental Telepathy. Time Travel. Immortality. You know, for 15 years, I've been looking for these damn silly lights in the night sky. I've never found any... I sure wish I had."
[Verse 1: Apathy]
Lately, I've been on some other shit, mothership
Dreams of returnin' to my planet where I'm runnin' shit
'Cause this Earth's so poisonous, cancerous
Prayin' to a God who'll never answer us
Maybe it's a dream, if I scream will I wake now?
Maybe it's The Matrix, or a nervous breakdown?
Every medication that I take is a mistake now
'Cause the Pharmaceutical Industry is a shakedown (shakedown)
Maybe I should quit rappin'? I ain't havin' fun
I got a beautiful daughter, I'm 'bout to have a son
I'll tell 'em that I have more defeats than battles won
Teach 'em when to stand they ground and when they have to run
I swear to God that I'm cryin' while I'm writin' this
How can a sinner try to teach an angel righteousness?
Off balance, fuck musical talents
Tryin' to kill my demons was always the greatest challenge
And I don't even need the Holy Water
I just need to hold my daughter, lift her to sky just to show my father
Look at this Dad, not too bad
I don't even mean to brag but, who'd of thought that Chad
Would be walkin' with the giants, mentioned with the legends
Life's too short, so I measure it in seconds
Try to stay present, teach my kids lessons
Dream when you sleepin' to enter other dimensions
[Chorus x2: Bennett Got Bops]
I don't want to wake up from this dream if it's without you
All of the stars and the moon I lined up in the sky so I could find you
[Verse 2: Snak the Ripper]
Yeah, the older you get, the faster the time goes
I chose to stop livin' life with my eyes closed
No blindfolds, bad vibes, we could survive those
Liquor and live shows, burnin' bridges like pyros
Takin' the high road 'cause I came from the trenches
The world on my back, feelin' strained from the tension
Opinions never mattered, so I paid no attention
Always, hurtin' feelings, but it ain't my intention
I ain't chasin' no likes, or praise on the 'gram
Too busy, makin' new lifes, and raisin' a man
I gave my son my music rights, now it stays in the fam'
Been sober two years, I'm never gettin' wasted again
If you know me then it's hard to believe
But you don't know how I felt when I heard my son startin' to breathe
Tryin' to purify the stream before I water my seeds
Still wear my heart on my sleeve, but it's harder to see
'Cause truth is... I ain't been the same since my Dad died
Almost OD'd, y'all ain't even seen the bad side
Real life shit, hit me harder than a landslide
Understandin' life's like tryin' to juggle with your hands tied
I'm breakin' the chain of pain and addiction
Still tryin' to change the way my brain was conditioned
So I just, stay in position, no losin' or fadin'
I don't do this shit for fame, I do it for Brayden, I'm sayin'
[Chorus x2: Bennett Got Bops]
I don't want to wake up from this dream if it's without you
All of the stars and the moon, I lined up in the sky so I could find you
[Outro: Unknown?]
"A few million years ago, we humans took our first steps there. Our brains grew and changed. The old parts began to be guided by the new parts... and this made us human, with compassion and foresight and reason. But instead, we listened to that reptilian voice within' us counseling fear, territoriality, aggression. We accepted the products of science, but rejected it's methods. Perhaps, one day, there will be civilizations again on earth. There will life, there will be intelligence. But there will be no more humans, not here, not on a billion worlds."
