RJD2 - 8mm lyrics

LOVE I see your face shrouded in a laugh Cloaked in love that I had But didn't get back Romanticizing my past Because things look better through this view 8mm me, 8mm you So playful, but was it really like this? I fight this urge to be a lifeless blur Living with what I have now - that's emptiness You on the magazine cover but I'm not envious Because I inspired you to follow your dreams Then you realized your dreams didn't have any room for me So I'm doomed to sleep alone on the bed we bought together But at least I'll remember us forever, in my 8mm dreams 8mm 8mm dreams TIME Starting over, I'm back like i never been Hate everything i made, so how could i be arrogant? I'm getting older, trying to set sh** straight Spitting harder because i got more candles on the cake Looking back, seems further than it might be It's unlikely but it feels like life be the icing That was too sweet didn't get eaten Bottom of the trash - it gave co*kroaches something to believe in But I'd never k** time, I've made love to it gently So imagine my surprise when i found that it left me Gone forever, with no note Just some footage to watch while i sit here and soak in these 8mm dreams 8mm 8mm dreams LIFE And I'm from the acting capital where they acting for capital So don't act like you ain't acting because we're all actors after all We just more honest about it so the camera screams louder And as the years pa** and they seeming like hours Pixels engrave our loved ones make us prouder Because soon all our graves will be covered in flowers And like cows that graze lazily before being devoured We stay slaves rather than paying the price for power Ideas over ideals, art feeds us, but it got us owing them bills Our leaders speak words coated in thrills, cheap ones Longing for conformist love, cheap puns, and 8mm dreams 8mm 8mm dreams FATE I was caught in the traps set for me Poor souls writing scrolls that say rest in peace Dead to me, dead to them End goal is detrimental, let go of the echoes Let them envelope my other self's every step While the real me is swimming in this emptiness And if i ever felt worthy of praise it was a mistake I lay awake in the bed i made, so stay fake Stay carbon copy charred and ugly Par the course failed the course? call it costly Love and robbery, take what i want, I'm stoic Stab a coward in the back To be heroic in my 8mm dreams
