keith stoned - nightmares lyrics

[intro: keith stoned]
i need somebody to wake me up. there ain’t no waking up if you aren’t with me. yeah!

[verse 1: keith stoned]
high expectations, what you expect from me
lookin’ at the sky askin’ what’s my life expectancy
no discretions, if i die by enemy
let my music live forever but my face be a memory
i seen pills and heroin take out entire cities
addicts make excuses as good as they lie, that’s pretty sh+tty
i’ve been smokin’ every day tryin’ to find the right strain to ease the pain
but it don’t work, i’m still goin’ insane
individualism is frowned upon, conformity congratulated
lookin’ for salvation in a pathetic plastic nation
how many drinks ’til you considered an alcoholic?
you know it’s bad when you tell yourself no but you still want it
i was taught to go for the gold, follow my dreams
if i believe in it, i can and will succeed
some things i never thought i’d see
old friends looking at me like this isn’t who we thought you’d be
i know that i changed (haha) but you didn’t
and the world don’t change so neither will the people in it
i never thought my homeboy would take a real leap of faith
i never thought that old girl would od, nightmares while i’m awake

[chorus]
somebody please get me out of this dreamlike state? (dreamlike state?) i ain’t daydreaming
’cause i keep having nightmares while i’m awake (while i’m awake), i wake up screaming
somebody please get me out of this dreamlike state? (dreamlike state?) i ain’t daydreaming
’cause i keep having nightmares while i’m awake (while i’m awake), i wake up screaming
[verse 2: keith stoned]
my anxiety, what you expect from me?
i didn’t mean to make myself an outcast to society
i’m not antisocial most of the time, i just choose not to speak
ask me why, i’ll tell you why, talk is always cheap
i dropped out of school, i was the kid they couldn’t teach
shootin’ for the stars, now they’re within my reach
there’s a lot of issues on which i’d like to speak
but i don’t (why is that?) ’cause i’m not the kind to preach
also i ain’t tryin’ to die, i’m not ready to go
but these nightmares are so real, it’s out of control
for example, can you tell me who’s really in control?
you don’t know but you know every rapper can recall i don’t control
y’all the controllers, programmed and battery operated
this is more than a song, it’s a life observation
tune in every day and livin’ life that’s simulated
makes sh+t seem so fake, nightmares while i’m awake

[verse 3: keith stoned]
high hopes, what you expect from me?
your expectations are the reason for my high anxiety
i swear to you everyday i fight with sobriety
but a drunk driver can’t beat a cop in the driver’s seat
honestly, i want to know what happened to honesty
people lie straight to your face like i wonder if he’s onto me
i see through you like glasses about to be broken
shattered faith got me feelin’ so hopeless
i need some good news but every time i look on the news
they just makin’ sh+t up like anchorman 2
nothing’s the same, nothing’s the same as it used to be
i feel like i fell in love with a girl that’s just using me
my cold heart will give you the cold shoulder
i got wisdom that you ain’t supposed to know ’til you older
night terrors, enough to make your core shake
but i ain’t even passed out, nightmares while awake
[chorus]
somebody please get me out of this dreamlike state? (dreamlike state?) i ain’t daydreaming
’cause i keep having nightmares while i’m awake (while i’m awake), i wake up screaming
somebody please get me out of this dreamlike state? (dreamlike state?) i ain’t daydreaming
’cause i keep having nightmares while i’m awake (while i’m awake), i wake up screaming
