a lucid dream

You look prettier in this light
I prefer you in the background of an empty sky
A body in the basement of a former life
An anecdote I share to give some insight

But now I can't escape the heat of July or its humidity
And I don’t miss the taste of you 'cause it's escaped my memory
I know you started off sweet before you got bitter
And I could tell it as a lie or I could say what it is now

Maybe you’re a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scenery
Till you're growing flowers on my lawn

Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

We were better out of context
A momentary lapse that killed my common sense
Some attention that I got to build my confidence
I'm a sacrifice you made to your God complex

Now I can't escape the heat of July or its humidity
And I don’t miss the taste of you ’cause it's escaped my memory
And I know you started off sweet before you got bitter
And I could tell it as a lie or I could say what it is now

Maybe you’re a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scenery
Till you're growing flowers on my lawn

Maybe you’re a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to the

Heat of July and its humidity
Taste of you, 'cause it's escaped my memory
When the Sun burns in the sky, it starts a smoldering
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

Maybe you're a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scene
Until you're growing flowers on my lawn

Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start
