Lose Your Dream

Verse 1
I used to wake with fire in my chest
Chasing visions I couldn’t suppress
But the world said “settle,” said “be safe”
And I watched my colors fade to away
Pre-Chorus
They say dreams are for the young
But. baby, I know that’s where the soul is strung
You clip those wings, you dim that light
You simply lose the fight
Chorus
Lose your dream, lose your mind
Start forgetting what you came to find
Trade your voice for a quiet life
But then the silence cuts like a knife
Lose your dream, lose your flame
Start believing it’s all the same
But I’d rather burn than be confined
Lose your dream, lose your mind
Verse 2
I’ve seen the hollow in their eyes
The ones who gave up on the sky
They walk like ghosts, they breathe like stone
But I won’t call that home
Bridge
So I’ll hold my dream like sacred fire
Even when the world conspires
To tame the wild, to blur the line
I’ll keep my mind, I’ll keep my spine
Final Chorus
Lose your dream, lose your soul
Start forgetting what makes you whole
But I’ll always rise with the rebel wind
And dream again and again
Lose your dream, lose your mind
But I won’t leave mine behind
I’ll fight to the death to keep what's mine
Lose your dream — lose your mind
