Reality is B-Sydes ode to his craft, depicting the struggles of a life dedicated to pursuing an unconventional path and a promise to follow his dream by any means.
lyrics
Verse 1
It's this ache i hold deep inside, bigger than the moon it can change tide, once awake this quake won't subside, I figure it'll consume me till i die, if it's my fate then let the strange survive, make no mistake when I sanctify, that I thank the sky, for this place time, but it's just a taste I'm not yet satisfied
For every broken string release of tension, it's a token of my apprehension, a smoking gun is worth mention, if this broken world wishes for ascension, to a new plane, I reach and strain, all my muscles but I won't let it be in vane , no I'll call claim, to every effort made, I haven't prayed I've laid my heart out on this stage
Chorus
Im no longer gonna say I have a dream
From now on its my reality
It'll be the only oxygen I breath
It'll be my raft when I'm lost at sea
Verse 2
Walking the path doing my best to carve, so In the aftermath i will starve, I'll take charge of this large reservoir, of the bizarre thoughts that spew from my guitar, when I spar with the man mirror, we've played our cards now it all seems clearer , I did fear the message would get lost, now I know it's my mission to deliver at all cost
Chorus
Im no longer gonna say I have a dream
From now on its my reality
It'll be the only oxygen I breath
It'll be my raft when I'm lost at sea
Stunning, ragged-edged funk and soul—if you didn’t know this was new, it could be easily mistaken for a rarities comp from the late ’60s. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2017
