Lyrics

Toronto 2014

[Verse 1: Mustafa]

Sometimes it feels like it's a dream

Everything is not as it seems

If only I could find a pair of glasses

To help me see the ones who truly be

They live and we sleep

Pray my days will never hit one

Take me far away from the sun

If only I could find my way through space-time

Back to when I was happy being me

They live and we—

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & Mustafa]

I can hear the bells ringin', remindin' us why

We're still here singin', it's Father Time

We're stuck in The Matrix, living a lie

I'm not afraid to die

[Interlude: Daniel Caesar]

Twenty-four hours after CS:01 released

Time to hit the streets

I went to check my dawgs, get some vitamin C

Twenty-four hours after CS:01 released

Time to hit the streets

Went to-went to check my dawgs, get some vitamin C

And I woke up in an ambulance

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]

Take me back to 2014

Saw a pic' this morning

Far along the journey

The future was alluring

On the other side of TVs, hoping that they see me

But, they hardly see me

At least that's how I see things

Isn't it funny how the time flies

Like a G5 jet in the turbulence

Well, we gon' make it home tonight

Alright? Alright? Right, alright

My misery is boring, finally, feel confident

Yes, that's an accomplishment

Many more commas to get

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & Mustafa, Daniel Caesar]

I can hear the bells ringin' (Bells ringin'), remindin' us why (Remindin' us why)

We're still here singin' (We're still singin'), it's Father Time

We're stuck in the Matrix (Stuck in the Matrix), livin' a lie (Livin' a lie)

I'm not afraid to die (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3: Daniel Caesar, Daniel Caesar & Mustafa, Mustafa]

You know, Stockholm, long roads, on go

You can't even reach me

Just know, whenever you need me, we'll figure it out

Look up and you'll see me, and I'll be around (Yeah)

'Cause when I'm home, I'm lost, let's go make it look easy

Oh, take it easy on me, it's still my city, it's still my city

[Outro: Daniel Caesar]

Twenty-four hours after CS:01 released

Time to hit the streets

I went to check my dawgs, get some vitamin C

Twenty-four hours after CS:01 released

Time to hit the streets

Went to-went to check my dawgs, get some vitamin C

And I woke up in an ambulance
