Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Eyes open, but I’m still there
You know where
Look
[Verse 1]
Used to fall for a pretty face
Red flags, but I hit the gas
She was pain in a perfume glass
Sippin’ slow till my heart got smashed
Told her secrets I never told
Watched her turn ’em into jokes
Funny thing ’bout a heavy soul
It just sinks when you need a boat
Mama said “son, that’s how you learn”
Touch a hot flame, feel the burn
Love is class you can’t skip turns
Pay in scars, that’s the way you earn
Now I don’t chase what don’t chase back
I don’t beg texts, I don’t trade that
Self‑worth for a late night snap
Got a backbone where my heart was cracked
[Chorus]
Lucid dreams
I keep waking in the same old scene
Her voice talking in my head so mean
But I swear I’m gonna break that screen
(I’m gonna break that screen)
Life gonna teach
Every cut turns a boy to a beast
Every “please” turns to “leave in peace”
Now I love me more, that’s the key
(that’s the key, that’s the key)
[Verse 2]
Had a girl who was all “I’m fine”
Eyes cold but her page on fire
Loved fame more than she loved time
Loved lies more than she loved mine
I was tryna be a hero type
Fix her storms, never fixed my life
You can drown tryna hold that tide
Can’t heal hurt that don’t wanna try
Lesson one: you can’t save a heart
That enjoys being ripped apart
Lesson two: don’t ignore your gut
When it screams every time you trust
Now I sleep with the curtains drawn
See her name, then I swipe it gone
Every dream where she does me wrong
I flip script, tell her “thanks, move on”
[Chorus]
Lucid dreams
I keep waking in the same old scene
Her voice talking in my head so mean
But I swear I’m gonna break that screen
(I’m gonna break that screen)
Life gonna teach
Every cut turns a boy to a beast
Every “please” turns to “leave in peace”
Now I love me more, that’s the key
(that’s the key, that’s the key)
[Bridge]
Yeah, pain is a prophet
Every loss put a jewel in my pocket
Every “stay” that I didn’t, that was progress
Every tear was a tax on the process
Tell that hurt “you ain’t owning me”
Tell that past “you ain’t home to me”
Tell that dream girl ghost “you a joke to me”
I wake up, choose hope for me (hope for me)
[Chorus]
Lucid dreams
I keep waking in the same old scene
Her voice talking in my head so mean
But I swear I’m gonna break that screen
(I’m gonna break that screen)
Life gonna teach
Every cut turns a boy to a beast
Every “please” turns to “leave in peace”
Now I love me more, that’s the key
(that’s the key, that’s the key)
[Outro]
Yeah
From the pain came plans
From the loss came me
From the girl came lessons
From the dream came free

Style
rap, Moody boom-bap with warm keys and distant vocal chops; verses sit in a reflective pocket, tight rhyme schemes and internal patterns; hook lifts with layered male vocals and a slightly brighter chord shift, 808s blooming on the downbeat; subtle ear-candy delays on key phrases to echo the “dream” theme, ending on a fade-out vamp of the chorus
