Lyrics REM Sleep - Afton

Uh
Yea
Yea
Yea

Stuck inside a
Stuck inside a
Stuck inside a

Real life
Real life
Real life

Real life
Real life
Real life

R.E.M. Sleep rapid eye movements in a Bentley
Thing ain't what they seem stuck inside a dream

Spread my wings and fly
Believe enough to make it if I do ill be Immortalzied

If I don't ill never know these are just stepping stones
Up another level

Is it more or less incredible?

Stuck inside my mind stuck inside the tomb but I'm reaching for the vines
Wandering the hall ways and I'm scared of what ill find

I've been running through my mind
Thing ain't what they seem so I'm opening the blind's

Open up the blind's like I'm seeing clear for the first time
This is real life R.E.M. Sleep read the fine print redefine

Time we hit rewind
Battle with the mind giving sight to the blind

You've been missing come and listen to a different kinda definition
I've been showing you the vision so you better fucking listen yeah

Better listen yea
Better listen yea

Better
Better
Better
Better
Better listen yea

This is real life
This is real life
This is real life

Real life
Real life

R.E.M. Sleep rapid eye movements and I'm clenching
Grinding all my teeth I think I found my niche then I died

Sike
Media been telling you the lies like "2019 we got foresight"

All I ever needed was a year
2020 vision now I'm here to make it clear

I'm more than I appear I'm a man a monster and a poet
A badass mother fucker with a talent don't blow it

But I rip apart the dream they sew it back again
Stuck inside a loop

What is happening

Eyes begin to droop get the troops I've been here for to long
My vision getting blurry cuz I'm stuck in this song

Wait

Cuz now we can relate
I'm stuck inside this dream state and I can't escape

I'm running for the gate but they chase
So what a great waste of my time

Cuz now I've been imprisoned in my mind

Yea
In my mind
In my mind

Yea
I run away

Yea
I run away

Run away
Run away
I run and run and run and run and run and run away

I run away
I run away

I run and run and run and run and run and run away

To a new place pack up all my shit in a suite case
Get a new face leaving here without a trace

I have been erased like the dream's that we chase
Or the coin that you lost that you thought you misplaced

Face it I am more than basic
Life is just a test and imma fucking ace it

This is not a race it's about how you make it
So imma do my best and you cannot mistake it
