Dreamcatcher

[Intro]
Head full of thunder
Hands still empty
Idea so vivid
It almost tempted me

[Verse 1]
Saw it in color
Sharp like a knife edge
Whole blueprint blazing
Right on the mind’s ledge
Heart said “jump”
But my skills said “maybe”
Pages stayed blank
Vision still crazy

So
I swung at the dark, [harmonica lick]
Little off rhythm, little off mark
Every small miss put a chip in the wall
Brick by brick till I saw that spark

[Chorus]
Rapid fire, I keep on shooting
Click, reload, the dream still moving
I can see it clear in my skull like a movie
Had to learn the code just to make it true-y
Level up, level up, over and over
Fail on my face, then I walk in bolder
Didn’t know how, but I know I will
Till the picture in my head turns real

[Verse 2]
Violin crying
Soft under my breath
Every wrong turn
Still carving a step
Every “not yet”
Still closer than “never”
Every late night
Put a notch on the lever

Turned every question
Into one more try
Turned every stumble
To a stairway high
I was broke on skill
But I paid in time
Till my hands caught up
To my hungry mind

[Chorus]
Rapid fire, I keep on shooting
Click, reload, the dream still moving
I can see it clear in my skull like a movie
Had to learn the code just to make it true-y
Level up, level up, over and over
Fail on my face, then I walk in bolder
Didn’t know how, but I know I will
Till the picture in my head turns real

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Every “not yet”
Turned to “I’m close”
Every small crack
Let the light expose
What I didn’t know then
Now lives in my bones
I was building a language
To speak my own goals

[guitar solo with harmonica answering]

[Chorus]
Rapid fire, I keep on shooting
Click, reload, the dream still moving
I can see it clear in my skull like a movie
Had to learn the code just to make it true-y
Level up, level up, over and over
Fail on my face, then I walk in bolder
Didn’t know how, but I know I will
Till the picture in my head turns real
