Trance Within A Dream Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was 21 I thought I'd lose my life
No matter what I did it seemed worthless, the battle wasn't won
Back then I was different, was fleshing out my verses at work
Then this dude made me stare at the barrel of his gun
He said I'd say die that day, restrained me in a violent way
Police question why he gave us a chance at breath at all
I hear kids everyday claim their lives suck
But I almost had mine taken away, bro
Now that's what it means to fall
Now for a while after that I was ghost within myself
Man I was lost, I couldn't breathe
I had my hands but couldn't feel, shuffling hands but couldn't deal
Things drenched in fog, had my eyes but couldn't see
I swear to you, I wouldn't lie
I'd catch anxiety, wanted to hide when I saw a gun on a movie screen
They say the grass is always greener
So I masked my pain and leaned on everyone I could
A trance within a dream
And so

[Hook]
When you tell me that you're lost
When you tell me that you've given it all you got
But the world still tumbles down
Trust that I've been where you're at
These Burning Skies will reenact
Our darkest regrets
Believe good will come around
When you hit rock bottom the true test
Is how you return, and return you can
You can stand up on your feet
Let the music guide your way
And realize you've been wide awake
I'm here to wake you
From a trance within a dream

[Verse 2]
Yo, I've been through heartbreaks, depressing times
I've broken hearts in some hard ways, recessing mine
Yeah I've been cheated on, betrayed
And then they'd lead me on a way
In which I couldn't double back
I'd even question rhymes
Nah, but I'm not giving up, won't call the light
You see we've built an army and I summon all to fight
I swear to you I won't give in to iniquities
's long as you never surrender
Let the hero-in like Walter White!
I'm Breaking worse so just forget the Bad
I'll lift the curse, reversing all
Don't lose the faith you had
When darkness lurks we'll show our worth
You see the perk of being me, is with my words
I can give birth to stronger minds
I'm glad
This trance is just a trance, that's all it is So let me wake you, homie'
Stumble you, that's all it did
You're not Alone, so Get Back Up
And then erupt and let the world know
You've awoken from slumber
You'll never call it quits!

[Hook]
When you tell me that you're lost
When you tell me that you've given it all you got
But the world still tumbles down
Trust that I've been where you're at
These Burning Skies will reenact
Our darkest regrets
Believe good will come around
When you hit rock bottom the true test
Is how you return, and return you can
You can stand up on your feet
Let the music guide your way
And realize you've been wide awake
I'm here to wake you
From a trance within a dream

[Verse 3]
I go through phases, man, they hit and dip
It's hard to phrase it, it's like I fade when I shouldn't
R.I.P
To all the loved ones that I've lost
I miss my grandmothers
I grant others
The right to lead the way
So that I could equip
A better understanding so I don't hand in the towel
Just how will he overcome these obstreperous obstacles?
No docile clue, but opportune moments arise
And that's when we find ourselves homing in right
And I know it's hard to do!
I judge myself, don't find it hard to blame
But I know these treacherous thoughts
Were born in darkness, Bane
It's time we Marvel over life
So help me carve and open ripe
Fruit for the taking
Set in flight, yo this is ours to gain
Believe me when I tell you, I've been found
And I've felt that happiness when the hell around is calming down
I'm grateful for this earth, love every step I take on it
I see the beast within and now I'm ready to awaken it

[Hook]
When you tell me that you're lost
When you tell me that you've given it all you got
But the world still tumbles down
Trust that I've been where you're at
These Burning Skies will reenact
Our darkest regrets
Believe good will come around
When you hit rock bottom the true test
Is how you return, and return you can
You can stand up on your feet
Let the music guide your way
And realize you've been wide awake
I'm here to wake you
From a trance within a dream
