[Intro]
You were my dream
You were my dream
You were my dream
Why'd you wake me?
You were my dream
You were my dream
You were my dream
Why'd you wake me?
Stuck in a world between fantasy and reality
I'm so jaded even my waifu is mad at me
I can't find peace, not even in my own dreams
Everywhere I turn there's some fuck nigga mad at me
But stay mad. Think I give a shit? I'm past that
I'm speed running, any percent, no back tracks
I've already finished the race, you're on your last lap
I'm so ahead of the game it's like I leaked that
Retweet that, take a second to rethink that
Comment you deleted. Did you think I wouldn't read that?
"Cloud can't rap", tell me, really you believe that?
I'm a class act, you're just the killers to my Springtrap
And when I'm finished with you I'll hit you with a snapback
Bring your partner in and he better not hold back
Zero to death when I grab you, like Chudat
Melee boys in the house, now where are you at!?
I am not a rapper, I have words to say (hey)
So listen to me talk whenever you hit play (Now where are you at?)
I'm not a singer, though I got more songs than Trey(hey)
I'm just a musician that lives day by day (Now where are you at?)
Stuck in a rut. Rotten to the core. Hating what I make
Life is such a chore. Let me fade away. Hesitate no more
I just think I'm bored of the mundane cycle that I'm trapped in
Strap in. Let's take a tour
In the early days of my youth before I knew the world was so cold, ruthless, and uncouth
I'd daydream about being cool. Just a young kid with dreams who Hated bein' in school
See I learned that I was different, but still fitted in
My dreams were still developing with every stroke of the pen
A Bad Apple through and through. I was Reimu
And you were Elly. I got the attention that was meant for you
But watch me Conceal the Conclusion
By splittin' pots like Link, call that collusion
Through all the confusion, you'll find it wasn't real
It was all in your head. Can you tell me who's dead?
'Cause I got Another, yes Another mystery
And none of that was subtle, but I hope it made you think
About the grand scheme, the players on your team
The game we all play, and who's the enemy
Enemies. Plural. Let me correct myself
You're not siding with me? Then please eject yourself
'Cause I don't need the help of those who drain my health
And pose any type of challenge to my mental wealth
So stay out of my way, unless you already crossed me
In which case, stay out of my line of sight
'Cause things could get ugly in the blink of an eye
"Hey, Cloud, the programs messing up!"
Then fuck it we'll do it live!
I guess we Pentatonix now (They want to see me fall)
I've never been much of a vocalist, but watch me as I break it down (oh let's break it down)
And are the tears of a clown still funny? (They want to see me fall)
If you book him and he suffers would you still owe him money?
These questions need answers like I need FAFSA (They want to see me fall)
Let me see your hands up. Prevent this disaster
From happening. Save me the last dance (They want to see me fall)
Looking in your eyes I think I see a second chance
And that scares me and I know it scares you too (They want to see me fall)
I've said it before, I'm jaded, that much I know is true
I'm disillusioned with the world, with the girls (They want to see me fall)
So fuck em both, literal and metaphorical
And fuck it all. Cut it open. Get surgical (They want to see me fall)
And heal the wound, but the scar is still visible
Long live the king. Avoid the stampede (They want to see me fall)
This caged bird will sing as it spreads its wings and
Flies away (I can't think! You broke me!)
(Are you the one who's breaking me? Do you even know what breaking means?)
Flies away (I can't sleep! My dreams haunt me!)
(What was the dream I was chasing? I'm so tired of all this running)
Flies away (I can't think! I can't sleep!)
(Heaven can wait for you and I so until the day that we die)
Flies away (I can't breathe! I can't breathe!)
(Tell me another lie. Tell me another lie)
Just let me fly to another place
Just let me escape
This world that I've come to hate, yet I embrace
All the fucked up things that we made and still create
Dissonance in my Head, coming soon, but not yet
Before that there are things I need to get off my chest
So with that said let me go ahead and change the subject
Yes, the beats dead and I'm the suspect
But I'm innocent. All the time I spent
With my instruments, work that I put in
I could never do this
So who's the culprit? That's what you're asking right
And here's a plot twist, don't compare me to M.Night
I said the beat was dead and that wasn't a lie
But watch me bring it back, because as long as I'm alive
Music can never die! The music will never die! (Music can never die)
Open your ears because the movement won't be televised
So rock on! Rave on or Be strong!(Music can never die)
Just find your motivation! (Ay)
Find a Reason to Sing! (Music can never die)
Be the change that you want to see
In the world! (Music will never die)
In your world!
We grow older with each passing moment of time
Time evolves into memories and they inhabit your mind (In your world)
Like echoes of the wind across the window chimes
It all seems so near as I close my eyes (In your world)
A reflection of our lives, representation of the time
That we have spent on this Earth with enemies and friends alike
Nostalgia ringing in our ears, reminiscence of the years
Daydreamin' of our peers and the ones we held dear
[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask that you please hold your applause?
I would like to be the first to welcome you to Phantasmagoria
I will be your caretaker. You may call me Cloud-9
Cloud for short. C-loud if you're feeling bold
I do sincerely hope that you'll enjoy your stay here
I put a lot of time and effort into making sure the amenities are just right to your liking
So without further ado, I welcome you
Walk forward into the world of Phantasmagoria
