Glass Dreams

from Garden of Now by Rap Man Gavin

/

lyrics

Mostly lifted spitting fantasies
Misguided moments, fighting thoughts of where I have to be
Omen spit, I'm smoking I'm hopeful I'm spared catastrophe
coping in ways I molded
broken glass on my happy feet
Move passively, quiet my mind, slash my needs
Speak to trees, find true solace next to my family
Truth is I'm too honest, and honestly the scene's gorgeous
I allow it envelop me

This wave's back to ocean, my motion deeper than me
Cold flow, stoic, freeze when I breathe, still sleep with the freaks
Feel the mountains bleed, hours pass so steadily
When I'm in this place, it’s all dark but all heavenly
I flicker through a thousand memories
Hive mind rhymes, there's no end to me
These thoughts permanent, my flow temporary
They stole centuries, I'm taking it back
My bad days I just take it and rap
Those blue skies I’ve been painting 'em black

I see nothing but nothingness

Dreams shatter into day-to-days
Pick apart the pieces, try to analyze my lazy ways
Never play it safe, hazardous when I'm taking aim
I heard them talking in circles 'bout how they shape the game (they don't)
Never chase the fame, chase the money, mainly chase my brain
Shaky knees won’t buckle, my mind collapsing with the rain
Fire breathe like Arcanine and find my verses filled with pain
Higher feeds from gods whose fine notes said it's all the same

Tapped in the moment, control it, and let it go
Unfold to a new mold don’t hold it just for the show
Compose myself, watch the young me turn old
My folks they keep me grounded, crutch my burnt soul
My third go was my luckiest, I'm Aldous Huxley touching other worlds
Just a subtle verse, I left where the rubble sits
Posted next to demons I spit
This devious shit the mic holder feeling his grip
