In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes
and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive
I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away
I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake
I'm in a deep sleep
No time to waste, got a line to erase
Won't wait til they finally face
What I've been tryna say since day one
til when they come to acquire the taste
for themselves, let em wait on the shelf
let 'em take what they're dealt and use it
I'ma make 'the dealer reshuffle that deck,
I was blessed and I've been through your hell to prove it
Self inducing a high, to the rest of the world I'm losing my mind
but little do they know really I'm just gaining it for the first time, and it's beautiful, climbed
to a new height, an enlightened state so
High with a view so wide but they choose to stay low
Given time living in the lines, any fool's gonna find a way though
but til that day, what do they know? they're gonna make waves til we're floating in the same boat
Their mind frame holds an undeveloped mental picture in the center, but it's really just a blank roll
Safe in the same old same of the mundane mind state, while I'm on the highway
to edified thinking with a one way ticket to the clouds in a place where untrained eye may
Look at as break down, really it's a break through
I can make time wait, I can make fate lose
I can change any written rule in the game
I can take any ending and extend it to a phase two
and it all started when I learned I could fly, and I used my wings
When I realized real life's an illusion, the nightmare became a lucid dream
In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes
and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive
I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away
I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake
in a deep sleep
a sweet dream
I'm in a deep sleep
a sweet dream
Life is a trip, and I'm falling up, down every single ounce all at once
Far above take reality hits from the strongest blunt
of the hardest drug: life, one puff from the pipe dream, and I feel nice
What they said was my one vice ended up being my means when I scaled life
at a height so high, with no way back down..and it makes sense, why go back to the ground
to the prison of the gravity and clipped wings wound, after living with no limits where the shackles unbounded
Surrounded with ease, serenity, awareness, and peace
I was scared when I entered too deep in the conscious conscience until I broke free from the hostage hold on my mental esteem
and let it it run free, said I'd OD on a dose so high, but what they don't see
is I feel so alive, living in a sweet dream without closing my eyes, enter in a deep sleep
With an open mind, so row your boat through this deep stream of consciousness
'cause life is but a lucid dream, and I'm losing sleep to process it
In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes
and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive
I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away
I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake
in a deep sleep
a sweet dream
I'm in a deep sleep
a sweet dream
