Iniquity Rhymes - Trance Within A Dream lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was 21 I thought I'd lose my life No matter what I did it seemed worthless, the battle wasn't won Back then I was different, was fleshing out my verses at work Then this dude made me stare at the barrel of his gun He said I'd say die that day, restrained me in a violent way Police question why he gave us a chance at breath at all I hear kids everyday claim their lives s** But I almost had mine taken away, bro Now that's what it means to fall Now for a while after that I was ghost within myself Man I was lost, I couldn't breathe I had my hands but couldn't feel, shuffling hands but couldn't deal Things drenched in fog, had my eyes but couldn't see I swear to you, I wouldn't lie I'd catch anxiety, wanted to hide when I saw a gun on a movie screen They say the gra** is always greener So I masked my pain and leaned on everyone I could A trance within a dream And so [Chorus] When you tell me that you're lost When you tell me that you've given it all you got But the world still tumbles down Trust that I've been where you're at These Burning Skies will reenact Our darkest regrets Believe good will come around When you hit rock bottom the true test Is how you return, and return you can You can stand up on your feet Let the music guide your way And realize you've been wide awake I'm here to wake you From a trance within a dream [Verse 2] Yo, I've been through heartbreaks, depressing times I've broken hearts in some hard ways, recessing mine Yeah I've been cheated on, betrayed And then they'd lead me on a way In which I couldn't double back I'd even question rhymes Nah, but I'm not giving up, won't call the light You see we've built an army and I summon all to fight I swear to you I won't give in to iniquities 's long as you never surrender Let the hero-in like Walter White! I'm Breaking worse so just forget the Bad I'll lift the curse, reversing all Don't lose the faith you had When darkness lurks we'll show our worth You see the perk of being me, is with my words I can give birth to stronger minds I'm glad This trance is just a trance, that's all it is So let me wake you, homie' Stumble you, that's all it did You're not Alone, so Get Back Up And then erupt and let the world know You've awoken from slumber You'll never call it quits! [Chorus] When you tell me that you're lost When you tell me that you've given it all you got But the world still tumbles down Trust that I've been where you're at These Burning Skies will reenact Our darkest regrets Believe good will come around When you hit rock bottom the true test Is how you return, and return you can You can stand up on your feet Let the music guide your way And realize you've been wide awake I'm here to wake you From a trance within a dream [Verse 3] I go through phases, man, they hit and dip It's hard to phrase it, it's like I fade when I shouldn't R.I.P To all the loved ones that I've lost I miss my grandmothers I grant others The right to lead the way So that I could equip A better understanding so I don't hand in the towel Just how will he overcome these obstreperous obstacles? No docile clue, but opportune moments arise And that's when we find ourselves homing in right And I know it's hard to do! I judge myself, don't find it hard to blame But I know these treacherous thoughts Were born in darkness, Bane It's time we Marvel over life So help me carve and open ripe Fruit for the taking Set in flight, yo this is ours to gain Believe me when I tell you, I've been found And I've felt that happiness when the hell around is calming down I'm grateful for this earth, love every step I take on it I see the beast within and now I'm ready to awaken it [Chorus] When you tell me that you're lost When you tell me that you've given it all you got But the world still tumbles down Trust that I've been where you're at These Burning Skies will reenact Our darkest regrets Believe good will come around When you hit rock bottom the true test Is how you return, and return you can You can stand up on your feet Let the music guide your way And realize you've been wide awake I'm here to wake you From a trance within a dream
