last night  
I had a dream
 
where everything was as it should be  
the people I trusted still believed in me  
and the weight of the world wasn’t crushing  
last night  
I had a dream
 
I had friends that cared for my well being  
didn’t have to call anybody  
because they would just show up at my door  
ask me how I been  
“couldn’t be better”  
last night  
I had a dream
 
where I didn’t want to scream  
and there wasn’t this distance  
between me and my family  
I could still look at those that are now gone  
sometimes I think maybe they’re better off  
last night  
I had a dream
 
where there were more than me fighting  
for what is right, for what is truth  
I get so frustrated at all the bad news  
but for a moment I felt at peace  
not wonder if the price of tomorrow  
is worth the pain  
last night  
I had a dream
 
where I knew what to say  
and every word wasn’t a disdain  
because really I get so sick of all the bullshit  
shouldn’t be a chore to get some respect, should it?  
but all life is is hide and seek  
fucking peek-a-boo  
can you find the loyalty?  
as if it’s all just a game  
and I don’t want to play  
no, I don’t want to play
