Welcome To My Fantasy - Invictus (Lyrics by Jonah Falk)

Verse 1
Welcome to my fantasy
Of modern day insanity
Where people can live happily
Without a damn degree
And be respected by humanity
Consider the matter please
I think I can succeed
And I'm looked at, like it's some damn disease
Cuz I got these dreams
And I'm passionate about what I believe
Cuz I found my loves at 13 and 15
With no shifting
You keep me on guard
So I gotta draw swords to move forward
Swore to protect these things
I just can't live without them it seems
But I won't just hide behind my shield protecting, I'm detecting
A sense of fear so I stand here
sacrificial lamb as an example
With an ample reason to burn this candle
at both ends, just for them
Hoping
That I can keep on going
and growing
without people controlling
my mind and mine is swollen
from dipping my toes in
This unthinkable sin of doing
What makes me feel alive
But I'd rather die doing that
Than live just to survive

Chorus
It's looking like
I got a choice
Use my voice
And make some noise
Or sit back and behave like
all the other girls and boys
But I could, never sit crisscross
It was hard to sit still
Was it the, thrill of defiance
Or appliance of skill
I can't keep quiet and chill
I heard that silence can kill
Iron will made me express to you
Exactly how I feel
That's how I feel
I heard that silence could kill
Iron will made me express to you
Exactly how I feel

Verse 2
I'm an honest half conscious
Self conscious artist on a conquest
Pushing through the nonsense
Eyeing that D.R.E. doctorate
One way to walk obnoxious
Success is what you call it
Progress ain't how you flaunt it
Go King character your content
My musical mind jogging
Passion keeps my pen jotting
Told me to get a job
But I'm still stuck up on that walkman
Study up for tests fill out your apps and pay concoction
I respectfully suggest
We look into our options
With economic outrage
Critical thought downplayed
Pop frayed a culture
Vultures took away the soul
Blame the money fame ego pain
Lust justifications made
Advanced placement suffocation
Class rankings do the same
I'm a product of my experience
Good and bad times
But nearing this
Goal keeps me serious
Generation stuck
On our appearances
Dreams we're fearing this
From social interferences

Chorus
It's looking like
I got a choice
Use my voice
And make some noise
Or sit back and behave like
all the other girls and boys
But I could, never sit crisscross
It was hard to sit still
Was it the, thrill of defiance
Or appliance of skill
I can't keep quiet and chill
I heard that silence can kill
Iron will made me express to you
Exactly how I feel
That's how I feel
I heard that silence could kill
Iron will made me express to you
Exactly how I feel

Verse 3
I'm channeling my inspiration
Time put in for celebration
I remember conversations of
"New stuff soon man it's complicated"
But no more waiting
So impatient
Open the doors
Make your way in
And it may not
Sweep the nation
But it feels amazing
I'm finally making
My move
In my grove
There's so much
That I'm trying to do
Bite my tongue
Save it all for the booth
But to keep this in
That's a no can do
If I don't start now
It'll seep right through
Better tap into
This new Sea crew
Discover this potential
That we never would have knew
I don't always look at tangibles
You could call me irrational
But diamonds in the dirt
I wanna let em see our rapping crew
If you could feel this feeling
Than you'd say it's understandable
No control doing things that
I never thought imaginable
But here we go
From notebooks to stereos
Bus rides on late nights
Rapping everywhere we go
A new chapter unfolds
Passion keeps us from the cold
Fashioned to us from the soul
Satisfaction is the goal

Chorus
It's looking like
I got a choice
Use my voice
And make some noise
Or sit back and behave like
all the other girls and boys
But I could, never sit crisscross
It was hard to sit still
Was it the, thrill of defiance
Or appliance of skill
I can't keep quiet and chill
I heard that silence can kill
Iron will made me express to you
Exactly how I feel
That's how I feel
I heard that silence could kill
Iron will made me express to you
