Just Being Jake: Song Lyrics, "Eyelid's"

39 4 2
                                    

Chorus

Am I really awake?

Through my eyelids am I really seeing right

Oh..that train is taking me the wrong way

I gotta jump off onto a plane so I can see a horizon

I need to see the city

I'd kiss the ground when I get there

Verse 1

I got 20/20 vision, yet my sight is impaired

Am I mentally blind

Yes these times are tight

I'm just tryna do things right

I want to be a good man

Yet I feel like I'm walking over the same steps I have

I wanna see that garden path

Area full of sunflowers and roses

Glimps in my eyes at heaven gates

Light fills my eyes 

My body felt like it could move

In that cacoon

Waited but couldn't wait no more 

I needed to search for that door

Verse 2

Legs moving, and mind running

It's raining around me yet I don't feel none of it

I question myself if I just let it all out these songs, cuz I want my people happy

So cold to the degree as it all hits me

And then I think people who say they care don't

I support what they do

I lay unsettled in that pool

Am a tool that you use and put back

I don't want nothing back..just decentness and respect

What's real and what's not? That building in the city shadows over me

Chorus

Am I really awake

Through my eyelids am I really seeing right

Oh..that train is taking me the wrong way

I gotta jump off onto a plane so I can see a horizon

I need to see the city

I'd kiss the ground when I get there

Verse 3

I don't like living in confusion or despair

The chains are off me, yet so much weight over me

I do everything I can, even if someone I know is far away

Send a message to make them smile

Being the listener, maybe it's me..I was just concerned

Why does it feel like someone is coming out of a nightmare and haunt me

To you I am a pawn

I break it even with the knight piece

Not revenge cuz there is a difference between the personal and fame

A phone call for the plan of the future

Verse 4

A look into a persons eyes and a teacher

A place of hope and terror

Ashes from the fire dissapearing

Eye's open as my body is on the ground tearing

Take a second and breathe

I feel I'm in a expulsion from the world yet I'm alive and blessed

A fighter in my soul none the less

I'll make that progression as time progresses

Sending a letter to those who think I'm a ghost

I hope you see the emotions in my eyes

I love you, but understand this time

Let that seed of knowledge drop down to your brain

Make things better than what is the same

Chorus

Am I really awake

Through my eyelids am I really seeing right

Oh..that train is taking me the wrong way

I gotta jump off onto a plane so I can see a horizon

I need to see the city

I'd kiss the ground when I get there
