Alex da Kid - Dream lyrics

[Verse 1] In the dark, and I'm right on the middle mark I'm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface And I watch from a distance seventeen And I'm short of the others dreams of being golden and on top It's not what you painted in my head There's so much there instead of all the colors that I saw [Chorus] We all are living in a dream But life ain't what it seems Oh everything's a mess And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything's a mess [Post-Chorus] But I wanna dream I wanna dream Leave me to dream [Verse 2] In the eyes of a teenage crystallized Oh, the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home And the cries from the strangers out at night They don't keep us up at night We have the curtains drawn and closed [Chorus] + [Post-Chorus] [Bridge] I know all your reasons To keep me from seeing Everything is actually a mess But now I am leaving All of us were only dreaming Everything is actually a mess [Chorus] + [Post-Chorus x2]
