they say aim for your dreams, but are they worth chasin?
seems every time I dream, my dreams keep changin
what happens if I attain them? What happens if I gain this -
state of bliss - my desires are changin
if I'll change location I'll have the same ailments I came with
my mind is playin tricks
I'm tired and I'm sick thinkin "Why do I exist?"
there's no truth - this is all illusion
WAIT I would have to use truth to prove this conclusion!
if there's a fake, there's a real man
I'm staring in the mirror wondering if I'm a real man
'cuz I don't want to stop and think-
of the guilt on my hands that I'm washing down the sink
got hypocrite tatted on my fingertips
they are instruments for wickedness when I'm pointing
it's to the point when I'm joined in -
to an appointment of voices which used to be annoying
now I kind of like them
now I'm thinking like them
it's like simultaneous minds
pride got them inscribed with the craziest lies
and there's a voice who says
I am the victim - I don't even have a choice in this
shame - it's surrounding me
when there's blame someone's always held accountable
what's accountability?Yo my conscience is killin me
