So in my dream I see rainbows,everything’s so magical
Until you speak and show up
And everything good goes up
In flames. And it’s shattered
Oh
And the dream is so shattered
Oh

(rap)
I let you in my head.My one biggest regret.You took a good thing and made it standard:pretzel bread. You never got me, but I wasn’t yours to get. You exorcised me;ha,pfft, enough said.
You tried to change me, and you made me hate me. I tried to erase me, but God said “no,baby. This is where you should be. Better days are coming. Just wait and you will see.One day you will be free.”
So I’m trusting that.Strenuous combat. Me against the world. And the world just laughs. Trying to sit firm, Upon my prayer mat. Drinking Caribou:cappuccino,nonfat.

In my dream I see rainbows,everything’s so magical
Until you speak and show up
And everything good goes up
In flames. And it’s shattered
Oh
And the dream is so shattered
Oh

(rap)
Look under the surface.At what is real. Do you think you’re deserving,for how you made me feel? You expect me to not care, to just heal. Forgive,forget,sign the line, close the deal.
I’m not selling my soul like that.Under no circumstances am I letting it go. Call it what you want,but I’ma let you know; I’m prepared for battle;lock and load.
I’ve already been there, so I don’t really care. Facing my Goliath, I’ve got David’s weapon. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and down went Goliath on the ground, sprawled.

In my dream I see rainbows,everything’s so magical
Until you speak and show up
And everything good goes up
In flames. And it’s shattered
Oh
And the dream is so shattered
Oh
It will bleed
Half living heartbeats
It will cry
Only half alive

In my dream I see rainbows,everything’s so magical
Until you speak and show up
And everything good goes up
In flames. And it’s shattered
Oh
And the dream is so shattered
Oh

In my dream I see rainbows,everything’s so magical
Until you speak and show up
And everything good goes up
In flames. And it’s shattered
Oh
And it’s strange I’m not shattered
Oh
