Shattered Dreams (Acoustic Version) - Johnny Hates Jazz

Imprecise words Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it Ease up, free smokin', niggas need it Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin' Back off, stand-offish and anemic Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin' Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin' Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'? Please, nobody pinch me out this dream I said peace to my dirty water drinkers Psh, nobody tryna get it clean Why ain't nobody tell me I was sinkin'? Ain't nobody tell me I could leave Yeah, we'd win again, seethin' within Seen teeth on the floor, leakin' again We hold the door, uh We build the bridge, we hold the courts Send a cease and desist to your thieves, nigga Please do abort, I could feel when you're forcin' it Still in a bore riddim Boy, I take the tour chips and go and get some decent decor Is you gon' ribbit or will you jump? Get some more ribbons for the born winners from the jump Niggas don't listen 'til that whole mission was a bust No sit-up, but it's crunch time, shootin' in the clutch The midsummer sunshine found me on my ones, face drippin', uh Hate swimmin' through your bloodlines Motherfuck a judge, same goin' to the one time, yeah Come and take a stroll in the mud Dip a toe in it, heard the hammer like a grudge When you holdin' it close, we was on the cusp It was holes in the boat, we ain't make a fuss Uh, chosen Imprecise words Yeah, chief, get it 'cause we mean it Ease up, free smokin', niggas need it Mask off, mask on, we trick-or-treatin' Back off, stand-offish and anemic Yeah, my nigga Ish, told him it's a feelin' Blast off, buckshot into my ceilin' Why ain't nobody tell me I was bleedin'? Please, nobody pinch me out this dream

Everything now is forever lost No more seconds ticking on the clock Shattered dreams and broken promises Are lying in pieces at my feet It's too late to start again All of my chances are gone Will I find the way under the rain The strength to rise again Or live onto the memories Of things I've never done The way under the rain The strength to rise again To live outside my mind In the tangible world All the choices that we decide to make Have a price that in the end we'll have to pay I have no one else to blame The last grain of sand has fallen It's too late to start again All of my chances are gone Will I find the way under the rain The strength to rise again Or live onto the memories Of things I've never done The way under the rain The strength to rise again To live outside my mind In the tangible world

So much for your promises They died the day you let me go Caught up in a web of lies But it was just too late to know I thought it was you Who would stand by my side And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart Woke up to reality And found the future not so bright I dreamt the impossible That maybe things could work out right I thought it was you Who would do me no wrong And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart Given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart From this empty heart From this empty heart You said you'd die for me And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart Given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart You said you'd die for me

I see you fading away from us I'll miss you very much Room with empty bottles, broken dreams And pride still running high Always on your side But I wanted more for you You can't go on this way And now I see it all fall through We pray for better days Stuck alone and scared Throw your life away And now choking on your pride May be the only way I don't want to see you like this We all tried to save you but missed I still feel the hope on your road Now come back to us like the days of the old I still feel you there Trying to get on top You'll always have my support in my heart People you've hurt Friends that you've lied to But we understand, and that's not you can see the end of the road I can see it too, for you, I'm scared if I lose you, I'm not prepared This time, if you die I watch you, right before my eyes Just trust me, and listen You have no self control This will take your life Overdose and then indulge until you die Pondering, we all ask the question why Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad And we are left the only family that you've ever had Overdose and then indulge until you die Pondering, we all ask the question why Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad And we are left the only family that you've ever had But I wanted more for you You can't go on this way And now I see it all fall through We pray for better days Stuck alone and scared Throw your life away And now choking on your pride May be the only way Help you see it through Fight this, me and you Reaching deep inside Problems not just you is what we find Our friendship makes it mine

Losing the fight, closing my eyes I'd run out of luck and I'd run out of time The beat of my heart was fading away The last thing I saw was your beautiful face You and I, we can't deny That we're still holding on To everything we thought was yet to be So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light Everyday I watch as you grieve I know that I must but I don't want to leave I call out your name, you stop and you stare There are only the trees but you know that I'm there In this dream, the in-between I wish that I could hold you But I am just a presence in the wind So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light Through the mist you blow a kiss And then you walk away And finally I know that I am free So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light

I can see it in your eyes You're a spirit I recognize Feelings I cannot explain And I don't even know your name Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Have I come to make amends Are old enemies now my friends And are you here to be my guide To heal the wounds that I bear inside? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Been here many times before With a different face from a different shore Both here to discover the other again Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Been here many times before With a different face from a different shore We've lived many lives before Fought on different sides of a hundred wars

Time is, time is a fast-flowing river A river that keeps getting deeper Deeper the further you swim You hold on to anything you can hold on to To someone you feel you belong to To stop being swept out to sea Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart Life is, life is perpetual motion The lull of serenity's ocean The shock of the merciless storm But there's no way, no way that you can escape it One of these days you will face it Survive it and you will be strong Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart I'm trying to find you Out in the deep blue But you have got to want to save yourself There is a way out Look for the Lighthouse Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart
