Emo Dreams

Made a loving on my emo dreams
 Taught my trauma how to work for me
 Now I'm living all my teenage dreams
 Somehow, life is better than I ever thought it'd be
 Wish I would've gotten here sooner
 Guess you could call me late bloomer, ha
 That line is too good not to use
 The timing is perfect to tell you the truth
 Yeah, I been out here for a while
 I been here honing my style
 A custom catastrophe, that's what they call me
 None of that mainstream thing does nothing for me
 Now that I'm hitting my groove, since 2011 been making a move, ha
 But don't forget all years, grinding in silence, song you'll never hear
 The world only sees about 20 percent
 The rest of Pareto scale, paying my rent
 All of their words still echo in my head
 They say
 "Do you wanna be sick or a superstar?
 It's a lonelier road being who you are"
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
 Say what you want, wake up in new cities every night
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar?
 It's a lonelier road being who you are
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
 Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
 Knew I would do something big from the start
 First, had turned all my pain into art
 Figured it out, wrote the book on it
 Never hold anything back from you, honest
 If there's a secret, it's probably this
 Be too smart give in, too stupid to quit
 Love for the music and fans is essential
 Give you longevity and then eventually
 You'll find yourself at the top of the ladder
 Top of the world, but it don't really matter
 Part of the process was falling in love with the person you were before
 Everyone loved you
 Then you realize the point of your dreams is becoming the person that you're supposed to be
 And then it's all clear, take it from me
 When they say
 "Do you wanna be sick or a superstar?
 It's a lonelier road being who you are"
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
 Say what you want, wake up in new cities every night
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
 It's a lonelier road being who you are (being who you are)
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't (I don't)
 Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
 Wish I would've gotten here sooner
 Finally living the future
 Finally, I understand that it doesn't matter if they understand
 I'm the one living my life
 I'm the one sleeping at night
 Head hits the pillow, got no regrets
 Wait 'til you see all the dreams in my head
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar? (Like a superstar)
 It's a lonelier road being who you are (being who you are)
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't (I don't)
 Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
 Do you wanna be sick like a superstar?
 It's a lonelier road being who you are
 And they tell me pick a lane, but I don't
 Say what you want, emo dreaming 'til the day I die
