Part 3 in the Glass House series, named for the way the lyrics are fully transparent in each episode about what’s going on in JR’s life. The back half of the cut features some great saxophone improv by jazz students Bailey Giles and Alex Batey.
[Chorus]
I go to sleep and have a dream I've never seen before
My life is changing, mind is racing, that's the way it goes
I do not brake for all that bullshit, It's a bumpy road
I can't be wishing for an encore when the curtain's closed
I go to sleep and have a dream I've never seen before
My life is changing, mind is racing, that's the way it goes
I do not brake for all that bullshit, It's a bumpy road
I can't be wishing for an encore when the curtain's closed
[Verse]
I can't be stuck inside
That shit's just not my vibe
These days I'm getting by
The feeling gets me high
I moved away from home
My eyes were so damn wide
The Autumn had me shook
I didn't even fight
I fell down with the leaves
I parked it at my desk
I showed my face eventually cuz Shippee 6 was blessed
I put it all on wax, I did that shit for me
And now I'm branching out
That's how it has to be
I made it back to Maine just to let my brain fucking reset
Just to give my town and school the dopest flows and beats yet
Just to make a couple paychecks throwing groceries in bags
Just to make a hater say "oh shit, I hope he isn't back"
Just to pay attention to the shit I let inside my head
Just to watch my people drink and flick a Bic to take their meds
Just to write this with the door open listening to crickets
They knew I wasn't finished
[Chorus]
I go to sleep and have a dream I've never seen before
My life is changing, mind is racing, that's the way it goes
I do not brake for all that bullshit, It's a bumpy road
I can't be wishing for an encore when the curtain's closed
I go to sleep and have a dream I've never seen before
My life is changing, mind is racing, that's the way it goes
I do not brake for all that bullshit, It's a bumpy road
I can't be wishing for an encore when the curtain's closed
