Tone deff - Dreams Lyrics

I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
Simplifying scenarios
Submerged in the sickness
Caught up in the error code
I'm in the grass, handcuffed
White Walls, no tires
White pills, scrape the surface
An artist mind hates the purpose
But the pursuit is the pleasure
Trauma and success, an equal measure
From the balance
Ego urged by echoes of ethics
But when you decide to fight it
That's when the night hit
Your light is believing there might be one
Each step is weighted,
In public, so basic
Comedic replacement
The healing to make it
Worth it to chase it.
Undergo a metamorphosis of endorphins
By way of expression
Like recessions a blessin
The reason it happens
Is treason to logic
Eyes peeled to the project
Survival is profit
I've been checking my pockets
This dream has been costin
So I cash the deposit
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
(On this marathon)
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
(Straight from the bottle)
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
(On this marathon)
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
(Straight from the bottle)
I been on way too long to keep struggling
Got too much to give to keep fumblin
Not ashamed to admit, that the game intermit
Though the sane woulda quit
We ain't the same how we built
Ill to the illest, till they feel this
Learned to work with my demons
Like Beelzebub a colleague
Learned to live with the pain
Like I split the rent with falling
Accept the moments in succession to the blessin
Don't wait to smile till the endin
And when I rise and drive to go clock in
I feel like I got clocked in the soul
That's why I'm up till 4,
Healing bruises of un tapped potential
Grindin on a dream with un matched momentum
I died at least 3 times, flat line
So might as well, make time
To pursue the passion
They gone be asking why I do
Then wonder how I've done
Then begging can they have nah
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
(On this marathon)
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
(Straight from the bottle)
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
(On this marathon)
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
(Straight from the bottle)
Mamma, don't you worry
But I got run this through
It's been a long time comin now
But your only son's a soldier
With a rose in the barrel
I've learned a lot from fallin
I know I ain't been callin
And don't you wait by the phone
But something's bout to give
I can see it in the headlights
Of my bucket whip
Ridin slow down Burnside strip
100,000 miles on the odometer
So I grip the wheel, turn up the stereo
Windows down so roll it up
God as my witness and the judgement
When I'm pullin up
Lost is the feelin of nothing
I've been comin up
Pops, I know it's hard to watch the process
Just know it's my only option
That's why I'm fighting with my subconscious
Beauty in the burden of the artist
Like ice in the bourbon glass he tosses
I've been chasing dreams
But they don't chase me back
(On this marathon)
That's why I've been drinking whiskey
With no chase or back
(Straight from the bottle)
