Dreaming

In order to pen rhymes, my mind is never ceasing/ Breathing fast my last chance to say something with meaning/ This evening, streaming thoughts to pads, can you see me/ Never ceasing, writing 'till the fingers on my hands bleed/ Been told there's no ceilings, but my worries increasing/ Mind's like a cell, fears constantly beating/ My dreams into submission, my trust in them is fleeting/ Scheming to take them out, my mind's sniper's seeing/ The target, hardest to hit metaphorically speaking/ Defeating the demons set out to impede me/ So I'm preaching to the masses who are constantly dreaming/ Leading the charge, Keeping the cause, piecing/ My life together, I know I've sown what I'm reaping/ No matter day or night, I see visions when I'm dreaming/ So I'm stringing words together when I write each line/ And tonight, I just wanna figure out how to save a life/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/ Take a look at what I want from life, sketch out the design/ Inscribe it on my mind every time that I write/ Ignite this flame, the same that'll be my demise/ Crazed inside, cool out, my emotions disguised/ Inclined to make snide remarks at passers-by, devised/ A plan to change this life, derived from the night/ Despite my love of the light, gotta end it tonight/ Tired of always being overtaken by slight/ Oversights, so my benign demeanor belies/ This new guy that comes out when I speak of a fight/ Derived from the darkness that I'm trying to hide/ Indict me all you want, but inquire to what's inscribed inside/ Refining my rhymes just to keep them in line/ This divine divide makes what I desire despised/ Delight in the life I've created in my mind/ Don't try and take it from me you won't try twice/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/ Can be overtaken by the slightest remark/ Armed to enter battle any time that it starts/ Hostile to those that try and pick me apart/ A beast on any beat, and I do it with smarts/ Tired of these bad odds, coming straight from the heart/ Squashing haters, debaters come at me with harsh/ Words that deal damage and they aim for the spark/ Keeping me here, a carnal urge to impart/ Some kind of meaning to my life, making a mark/ On this world we live in and in other people's hearts/ Soften those hardened by the harsh conditions brought/ Cut through the webs you're holding onto with sharp/ Words to bring you back to where you belong/ They don't break bones, but they sure left me scarred/ Starved for the love you need? Aren't we all/ Come and follow me, and don't be afraid to fall/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/ Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/ Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/ That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/ To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
