The Dreamer

from 2013 Demo by Motion

lyrics

I found myself lying flat on my back
Awaiting something to pull me up
To take me from this stagnant state
I’ve locked myself into
Complacency has drained all my motivation
And I am paralyzed by apprehension

But I must find it in me to lose everything
To sacrifice and change my life
I can’t continue to be this empty shell only seeking comfort
It’s not who I ever wanted to be

But it’s never been so difficult to dream
And it’s never been harder to imagine…
Myself in a position where I can be the man I want to be
If I could roll back the clock, I would have already realized my dreams

Time stands still for no one

I must begin to move forward
I must begin to move forward
I refuse to stand still here any longer

But this thought of failure consumes my everything
Leaving me winded
Choking on the fact that I would remain
So stagnant, complacent
Representing life I don’t…
Even believe in

Now I must risk everything

And on his last night in town, my brother grabbed me by the arm and he pulled me aside
He said with more conviction than I’d ever seen in his eyes

He said…

“Get the fuck out of this town
You don’t belong here
Escape from this place or it’ll become your tomb
You have more to offer than anyone here can give you
Don’t make do with this life you’ve been living these last two years
Chained up by doubt, consumed by your fears
You’re bigger than this. You’re bigger than this.”
