Shadowboxing

There's no pride when there's greed Vivid dreams, wake up sweat covered sheets I wanna go back to sleep Haunted dreams, lucid themes, chase me down the street Wake up to need, the money and the greed The stress inside the streets, anxiety it creeps Cripples through the feet It's me against me It's me against me Shadowboxing with myself again, my endless friend Another night, my best fiend worst enemy in my bed Should I drench myself in sweat or should I write instead? Sweaty sheets and nightmares, fuck it, yeah, I'm back again I've been on fifteen different meds since the mess happened But the meds I really take were never prescription Tried to stop a couple times but it comes back again Pictures come up in my head, I can't be left with them Tried to block out what I've seen and see the joy in it It's all a game, Lean, remember what you always said The same words I hear you said, it's all in my head Was it a fight against time or was it predestined? I guess I'll really never know and should I leave it there? I can't prepare for what comes next but, yeah, I see it clear Vivid castles, living easy, breathe the coldest air I gotta slow it down, like the turtle beats the hare There's no pride when there's greed Vivid dreams, wake up sweat covered sheets I wanna go back to sleep Haunted dreams, lucid themes, chase me down the street Wake up to need, the money and the greed The stress inside the streets, anxiety it creeps Cripples through the feet It's me against me It's me against me The feeling's fair, I keep fighting 'til my dreams are there Fighting 'til my dreams are there The feeling's fair, I keep fighting 'til my dreams are there Fighting 'til it's me against me
