lyrics

CHORUS: when I sleep // I fly high above the trees // in my Dreams // then I Wake // I come crashing down // back to the Ground // at times it’s hard to cope // ohh // I’m still hopeful // BRIDGE: never do I find it: // Perfection // are you there somewhere? // never do I find it: // Perfection // never do I find it: // Perfection // are you anywhere // never do I find it: // Perfection // VERSE 1: yo // I gotta be the only dude on the planet // who prefers Nightmares, here try to understand it // good Dreams are like a carrot on a string // mocking me each night like a parrot when he sings // it seems my goals are just outta reach // Reality must have a good keeper on its team // and my eternal opponent is disappointment // wishing at the moment they made lost hope ointment // anything to mend these shattered Dreams // sooth my miseries // think you’re getting what I mean // at least after Waking from a Nightmare // Life seems good when you contrast and compare // used to be like young Alice chasing down hares // eyes so wide with her head in the atmosphere // now I’m back on Earth // crashed in the dirt // won’t be the last or first // that this Reality hurts // so I close my eyes // lay me down to Sleep // pray to the Skies // I have terrible Dreams // BRIDGE // VERSE 2: put my hand in my pocket // felt a hole where my Dreams were // clutched her locket // hoped my Soul would redeem her // but since I never find Perfection // here’s a lesson // in Conception and Deception // when I cleansed my Perception // she came to me like a Fantasy // deep and intelligent, the opposite of vanity // she had to be the girl of my Dreams // but I learned the hard way things are not what they seem // first couple of months // things are looking up // it’s like Heaven’s open 24/7 // I develop // a sense of worship // she’s on a pedestal, while I’m looking like a fool // it was a stormy Night in January // walked in on her and my best friend Barry // all I could do is stand there and stare // wishing I was Sleep but it’s a Waking Nightmare // BRIDGE // CHORUS // BRIDGE // VERSE 3: still Lost // don’t know if I’ll ever be Found // negative thoughts // won’t let them hold me down // but when it starts // I begin to hear the Sound // and then my Heart // it seeps in the Darkness bound // demons within me // claiming to be friendly // where will they send me // not to Heaven’s entry // I’ve Dreamed a Dream but now it’s gone from me // the seeking of Perfection seems to be my Enemy // …Time heals all wounds though // on the Darkest Night I’ll be praying to the Moon yo // the Goddess inside us // Sparks us like lighters // burn Brightest // we’ll be Darkness fighters // and when I finally Wake from the Dream of Reality // please don’t consider me a casualty // find Peace, sailing on that Light Beam // but for now I’ll continue to Dream // BRIDGE 2x

about

Hopudoshi Columbus, Ohio

Hopudoshi is an American rap artist who currently resides in the Philippines. His introspective rhymes offer social commentary with a mystical bent.

Hopudoshi, Hopanova, and Hop-Leo all represent different sides of my personality. Sometimes they are in harmony and sometimes they are in conflict. The differences between them are the reason for some of my ambivalent feelings towards certain issues.
