Emo Dreams
[00:02.04] Made a loving on my emo dreams
[00:07.10] Taught my trauma how to work for me
[00:11.08] Now I'm living all my teenage dreams
[00:15.07] Somehow, life is better than I ever thought it'd be
[00:18.78] Wish I would've gotten here sooner
[00:20.92] Guess you could call me late bloomer, ha
[00:23.04] That line is too good not to use
[00:24.90] The timing is perfect to tell you the truth
[00:26.77] Yeah, I been out here for a while
[00:28.64] I been here honing my style
[00:30.50] A custom catastrophe, that's what they call me
[00:32.88] None of that mainstream thing does nothing for me
[00:35.02] Now that I'm hitting my groove, since 2011 been making a move, ha
[00:38.75] But don't forget all years, grinding in silence, song you'll never hear
[00:42.19] The world only sees about 20 percent
[00:44.59] The rest of Pareto scale, paying my rent
[00:46.45] All of their words still echo in my head
[00:48.30] They say
[00:49.90] "Do you wanna be sick or a superstar?
[00:54.14] It's a lonelier road being who you are"
[00:58.16] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
[01:01.07] Say what you want, wake up in new cities every night
[01:06.37] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar?
[01:09.84] It's a lonelier road being who you are
[01:13.29] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
[01:16.74] Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
[01:22.32] Knew I would do something big from the start
[01:25.24] First, had turned all my pain into art
[01:27.10] Figured it out, wrote the book on it
[01:29.23] Never hold anything back from you, honest
[01:31.08] If there's a secret, it's probably this
[01:32.94] Be too smart give in, too stupid to quit
[01:34.81] Love for the music and fans is essential
[01:36.93] Give you longevity and then eventually
[01:38.80] You'll find yourself at the top of the ladder
[01:40.64] Top of the world, but it don't really matter
[01:42.51] Part of the process was falling in love with the person you were before
[01:45.42] Everyone loved you
[01:46.49] Then you realize the point of your dreams is becoming the person that you're supposed to be
[01:50.48] And then it's all clear, take it from me
[01:52.34] When they say
[01:53.93] "Do you wanna be sick or a superstar?
[01:58.19] It's a lonelier road being who you are"
[02:01.65] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
[02:05.10] Say what you want, wake up in new cities every night
[02:10.15] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
[02:13.60] It's a lonelier road being who you are (being who you are)
[02:17.58] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't (I don't)
[02:20.52] Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
[02:25.82] Wish I would've gotten here sooner
[02:27.15] Finally living the future
[02:28.74] Finally, I understand that it doesn't matter if they understand
[02:32.46] I'm the one living my life
[02:34.59] I'm the one sleeping at night
[02:36.43] Head hits the pillow, got no regrets
[02:38.73] Wait 'til you see all the dreams in my head
[02:40.59] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
[02:48.29] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
[02:55.48] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
[03:00.25] It's a lonelier road being who you are (being who you are)
[03:03.70] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't (I don't)
[03:07.16] Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
[03:11.66] Do you wanna be sick like a superstar?
[03:15.66] It's a lonelier road being who you are
[03:19.11] And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
[03:22.30] Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
