friendly hallucinations

Mac Miller

Can you hear the whispers
of an innocent, ignorant child?
In the ocean, get to swimmin or drown
How long has it been since you smiled?
Girl, I love the way your body
fit inside that gown
Her Mama was a lady bug, her Papa was an atheist
Workin on a novel
set in Cold War Romania
Chasin love, idolizin Joan of Arcadia
Pray the landscapers don t wake her up
I m a slave to the bass line
Conversation topic got us tangled in the grape vine
Still wide awake, I m a stranger to the daytime
Vampire, higher than a hang glider
Look around and all I see is gray skies
There s help inside that medicine cabinet
Came in for the answers, but she left with a habit
There s no one on the other end of that telephone
Let s fall asleep to the metronome
Yeah

She s fallin for her hallucinations
But what s love without imagination?
Yeah
Baby, don t let them tell you what s real and what s not
There s a paradise waiting on the other side of the dock
Woah

It s only real if it s real to you (Does it feel?)
It s only real if it s real to you (Is it real?)
It s only real if it s real to you
(Said, what s it feel like? Yeah)

Tell me, is it real
if you can t hold it in your arms
but it can touch you?
Feel its texture pressin up against your chest, you say
I love you
(You don t hear it back)
Fallin victim to a world that s filled with satire
Mark Twain admired
Open Tom Sawyer, read a passage to the cab driver
She only in the back seat of a taxi
cause her car is in the shop with a flat tire
Mom say she believe her
But she always been a bad liar
Had a plan to burn her past
But it backfired
Hold on and be strong, kneel before your king
The land you put your knees on
it won t be long
til your path finds ya
And if love is just a fantasy
then what s the problem if you fall in love with fantasy?

They assume she s confused
with delusions she s creatin
In the waitin room for psychiatric evaluation
She doesn t have the patience to be treated like a patient
It ll be okay if she just swallow this pill

She s fallin for her hallucinations
What s love without imagination?
Yeah
Baby, don t let them tell you what s real and what s not
There s a paradise waiting on the other side of the dock
Woah

It s only real if it s real to you
It s only real if it s real to you
It s only real if it s real to you (Yes, yes, y all)

Havin conversations with friendly hallucinations
I ll be havin conversations with friendly hallucinations
They don t need no explanation
there is beauty in creation
My Lord

Havin conversations with friendly hallucinations
I ll be havin conversations with friendly hallucinations
They don t need no explanation, there is beauty in creation
My Lord

My Lord

She s fallin for her hallucinations
What s love without imagination?
Yeah
Baby, don t let them tell you what s real and what s not
There s a paradise waiting on the other side of the dock
Woah

It s only real if it s real to you
It s only real if it s real to you
It s only real if it s real to you
