[00:00.00] | |
[00:21.59] | Eighteen years in the making |
[00:23.38] | Her heart is heavy in fear of it breaking |
[00:26.14] | And every tear is an awakening |
[00:27.86] | Its brings her nearer she appears to be taken in |
[00:31.04] | By the sight of a girl she doesn’t recognize |
[00:33.67] | Her own image yo how could she forget those eyes |
[00:35.95] | Probably cus the one that’s behind them |
[00:38.08] | Has grown a little weary of the One who designed them |
[00:40.71] | All she ever wanted was to feel pretty |
[00:43.41] | She pours pain in her heart till it spills pity |
[00:46.37] | Blind to her own masterpiece |
[00:47.89] | She hangs pictures on the wall |
[00:49.22] | Of people she would rather be |
[00:50.71] | This isn’t how it has to be |
[00:52.36] | Visit pass the screen |
[00:53.62] | See how they fit false images in magazines |
[00:56.18] | Media type magic photo shop press |
[00:58.70] | See how it looks like plastic yo its not flesh |
[01:01.28] | She’s a product of the products they sell |
[01:03.02] | Another project in a marketing cell |
[01:05.00] | And it’s getting even harder to tell |
[01:06.94] | Herself her bodies beautiful |
[01:08.80] | Trying to copy what computers do |
[01:12.82] | |
[01:13.04] | That don’t mean nothing |
[01:14.72] | Wasting your time |
[01:17.24] | Looking for something you’ll never find |
[01:22.23] | Look through the make up |
[01:24.71] | It’s not what it seems |
[01:27.31] | When will we wake up from half of a dream |
[01:31.60] | His wallet size is a call to the eyes of most women |
[01:34.15] | Plus the car that he drives and his bold living |
[01:36.61] | Meant to symbolize he’s goal driven |
[01:38.36] | Now He’s starting to wonder |
[01:39.48] | Why everyone he knows is gold digging |
[01:41.69] | From his home living to his bar hoping |
[01:44.07] | Wherever he is he knows his credit cards got him |
[01:46.92] | Feeling like a star shopping |
[01:48.51] | With the fear of rock bottom |
[01:49.89] | Steering his wheels and not stopping |
[01:51.71] | Yeah he got problems but he won't let them find him |
[01:54.12] | He’d rather not solve them then let them redefine him |
[01:56.66] | See he can’t see behind them only his need to hide them |
[01:59.14] | Within his dreams he ties them |
[02:00.46] | On to everything he’s buying |
[02:02.12] | He sees an item he makes a purchase |
[02:04.33] | Never seeing inside him that there’s a greater purpose |
[02:07.09] | And everything he’s paid for is straight worthless |
[02:09.57] | If what he’s made for doesn’t break surface |
[02:12.01] | He’s a product of the products he sells |
[02:13.81] | Another project in a marketing cell |
[02:15.74] | And it’s getting even harder to tell |
[02:17.65] | Himself from his merchandise |
[02:19.51] | The search for gold ain't worth your life |
[02:23.11] | That don’t mean nothing |
[02:25.40] | Wasting your time |
[02:27.93] | Looking for something you’ll never find |
[02:32.91] | Look through the make up |
[02:35.33] | It’s not what it seems |
[02:37.94] | When will we wake up from half of a dream |
[02:42.89] | No one ever said it was easy |
[02:45.14] | Life will break you down if you let it |
[02:48.82] | But you gotta work |
[02:50.14] | But you gotta work through it somehow |
[02:52.80] | I know how you feel believe me |
[02:55.11] | You got to make a point to just stand your ground |
[02:58.69] | The time is now without a doubt |
[03:00.20] | We’ll get through it and figure it out |
[03:03.58] | That don’t mean nothing |
[03:05.94] | Wasting your time |
[03:08.31] | Looking for something you’ll never find |
[03:13.33] | Look through the make up |
[03:15.78] | It’s not what it seems |
[03:18.35] | When will we wake up from half of a dream |
