Lose Your Dream
lyric

Verse 1
I want to wake with fire in my chest
Chasing visions and dreams I can’t suppress
But the world says “settle,”
Says, “girl, be safe”
And I watch my dreams slowly fade away
Pre-Chorus
They say dreams are for the young
But. baby, I know that’s where the soul is strung
You clip those wings, you dim that light
You simply lose the fight
Chorus
Lose your dreams, lose your mind
Start forgetting what you came here to find
Trade your voice for a safe quiet life
But then the silence cuts like a knife
Lose your dreams, lose your flame
Start believing it’s all the same
I’d rather burn than be confined
Lose your dreams, lose your mind
Verse 2
I’ve seen the hollowness in other's eyes
The ones who gave up on their lives
They walk like ghosts, they breathe like stones
But I won’t let that be my home
Bridge
So I’ll hold my dreams like a sacred fire
Even when the world conspires
To tame my wild, to blur my lines
I’ll keep my mind, I’ll keep my spine
Final Chorus
Lose your dreams, lose your soul
Start forgetting what makes you whole
But I’ll always rise with the rebel wind
And dream again and again and again
Lose your dreams, lose your mind
But I won’t leave mine behind
I’ll fight to the death to keep what's mine
Lose your dreams — lose your mind
