What Is Lucidity?

It's like a color that you never thought existed Blink and you might miss it Or get dizzy and wake up Shaken up from a crazy location that you had not imagined before You went through the door You turn back towards it And suddenly you're back where you started But a staircase has opened up It's a dark place you don't go to much And suddenly you got the opportunity to see the beauty through it But you back off cause you're too damn stupid Or maybe it's sloth Maybe I been floating down the river of time Maybe my big plans aren't worth the peace of my mind Maybe I done lost a piece of my mind Uh Satan and God argue 'bout keepers and finders Yeah And I been feeling blind to my fate Until I focus in A world that I created Plagued by illusions and I'm tryna break them But I can't until I open my eyes Where did the light go I'm still in denial No If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through Oh I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through (If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through) (Oh) Gaze at the fogged up mirror and what do I see Don't think I recognize the man staring back at me God, I feel like death warmed over but that shit ain't even half baked And I got to be careful considering what's at stake Cause even if burning the leaf it seems could put my mind at ease Honestly I don't need another temptation trying to fulfill the prophecies That I see every night while I stare at the sky Devoid of color like Paradise and I traded eyes Wait That can't be right Well you better check your sight Because I'm not the man you thought Rip out my subconscious thoughts I don't care if my heart stops Sometimes sacrifices must be made to reach a higher place And if it's me then that's a shame But what can you do Oh What can you do Oh If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through Oh I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through I'm through (If I fail to reach lucidity then I'm through) (Oh) Yeah
