Forgot How To Dream - Ekali, K.Flay

Why can’t I be myself when I’m by myself?

I’m only nervous alone, what did I settle for?

Just a metaphor of something that felt like a home

Black ivy, I’m so lost, come find me wandering

Used to be reliable, now I’m liable

For promises I couldn’t keep

I was a little kid, I was different

The world is alive as I sleep

All day eyes shut, my mind just stays blank

Guess I forgot how to dream

Guess I forgot how to dream

Think that I’m losing it, I’m confusing things

That I used to keep in a line

Why can’t I trust myself, learn to love myself?

They say it’s a sign of the times

Don’t leave me, oh my mind won’t stay easy, easy

I’ve been along for the ride, but I haven’t been driving

Haven’t used my eyes in a minute, swear I’m sincere

But the weed and the Internet clouded my vision

These lights make it hard just to sit in or live in the skin that I got

Turned into something I’m not

I’m looking at photos of people looking at the clock

Guess I forgot how to dream

Guess I forgot how to dream

Guess I forgot how to dream, dream, dream

Guess I forgot how to dream, dream, dream, dream
