Beautiful Nightmare

[Hook: Alex Isaak] I'm on top of the world... An ain't thinkin' about coming down All the way in em' clouds Can't nobody tell me 'bout... Tell me 'bout my limits... In these beautiful nightmares Tell me 'bout my limits... In these beautiful nightmares Tell me 'bout my limits... (beautiful nightmares) [Verse 1: Young] Open up my heart to reveal a dirty closet A slave in the mind and I'm still stuck in this bondage Where do I go to find peace in this upper room Killed off my flesh but I still have to buy a tomb Doom from the start of it, life dug a bigger pit Bigger fish in the pond still can't find significance Hole in my heart and I think I need to fill a void Wooden like a puppet but I'm wishing just to be a boy Growin' into a man, but what man do you really see Gain the whole world but he's lost his eternity The pain that I feel got me caught up in the system I'm trying to claim rape, but I'm far from being a victim Looking at my family tree asking what this branch here will be Another fallin' leaf that's caught up in this autumn breeze I don't know, but I see it as a lesson learned Like a baby who finds out that fire burns [Hook] [Verse 2: Young] Laying in my bed and I contemplate my very fate Walking on that narrow but wonder if it's really straight Asking if I found hope love is speaking to my heart Will you let me in or will you keep me in the dark Out on the road doing shows trying to be a king Marching in the streets, but I rarely ever had a dream Seein' my best friend laying down in that casket Got me screaming out Lord, "are we really bastards?" Knocks on my door so I rarely ever go home Atmosphere messed up; got a weak ozone On the phone with my lady wonder why her heart ache Couldn't be a man and eat everything on her plate Demonstrate anger and not patience to my family Wonder if my boys will be men of integrity I don't know, but I guess I have to wait and see And be a man of the man who is guiding me, yeah [Hook]
