Dreams by Ethan Bence Lyrics
[Hook]
I gaze at the ceiling
I'm gonna break on through
Dreams keep me from sleeping
Days block my view
[Verse 1]
I never really thought that I could care so much
Though I never was possessive, I don't share too much
Always been obsessive, never thought I was aggressive
But I guess I learned I'm not who I thought I was
I used to think "it's acting" when they talked about their passion
Fire in their eyes, never had that satisfaction
Rapping never even was an option
Then laid my first track, and there never was another option
You ever feel so alone cause
You can't stop dreaming you're just caught up in your zone
And the whole time you're with them you just wanna be at home
And you can't help but show it and convey it in your tone, uh
Every minute is marathon
You start to separate, but you don't care, and carry on
Some people pray for the weekend
To catch up on sleep, I just catch up on dreaming
[Hook]
I gaze at the ceiling
I'm gonna break on through
Dreams keep me from sleeping
Days block my view
[Verse 2]
You ever wanted something so bad?
That you don't even want to eat cause your passion would consume that
It consumes you, you assume you can handle it
But you feel like you're a puppet to a mannequin
And there's support but you know that there's some fakes
Some are talking, some ignoring, some are laughing in your face
And snakes are closer than you think
Ones who never tried their best and couldn't bear to see you get a taste
Now they're looking at you crazy
You try but can't explain it
Can't even put your love for words into words
And they're talking changing clothes when you're trying to change the world
Then they mock and try to ridicule
Because of insecurities, but they'll never get rid of you
Some people pray for the weekend
To catch up on sleep, I just catch up on dreaming
[Hook]
I gaze at the ceiling
I'm gonna break on through
Dreams keep me from sleeping
Days block my view
[Verse 3]
It's like depression and elation
I can't explain the feeling, it's like you could cry
Tears of joy, and then laugh in a second, for no reason
And then go right back chasing
My biggest fear is being normal
I'll consider it a failure being less than historical
And it sags like a heavy load
The thought of blowing up's enough to make my head explode
All I hear is
I can't be the only one that hears this
I hear a near miss speeding by, sheer bliss
Think that I'm in love from a mere kiss
Nine to five might as well be nine to life
Never thought I'd be this terrified to suit up in a suit and tie
I could cry when I think if don't make it
Cause music is my passion, fear's my motivation
[Hook]
I gaze at the ceiling
I'm gonna break on through
Dreams keep me from sleeping
Days block my view
I gaze at the ceiling
I'm gonna break on through
Dreams keep me from sleeping
Days block my view
[Verse 1]
