Safe and sound away from the Devil's playground
Escape town before I lose it and break down
Away from the lady, to the night making rounds
Fast asleep no need to awaken now
Counting up the fleeting moments like contentment
Its all downhill from here I can sense it
Can't contend with me and the pen's friendship
Before I leave, Death will have to wrench it out a clenched grip
No need in getting caught up in the past tense
Dreaming of the way it'll be in the future
My whole hasn't turned in doubt in that sense
It's opinions and scar yeah the truth hurts
I can accomplish anything with my eyes closed
Miles away from illusions and lies told
Running from the real world and away
Contradicting all the words written on another day
Open your peepholes time to go to work
To earn a pretty shabby penny, then spend it soon as you get it
It's pathetic isn't it, handle the business
But how do I benefit from it?
No one can operate on an empty stomache
Soul on a leash, everybody wants a piece
Start to notice flat effects from from all of those who're tryna reach
Hunger pains gotta feed off the recognition
When listeners accept the message with inner credits given
Its best when their heads in position
Next to the system when spitting
Indefinite, rest of the catchphrases imbedded in their noggins
Watch, don't learn shit (hot)
You can't burn kid, raise the temperature
I'll toss him in the furnace
Earnest and giving the uncontrollable urges a service
Big headed small timers sink your teeth into the curb its, painless
I swear it, unlike the damage done to life itself
Opposite of the simile right, begin to see the light
Then it fades into black again
Close the shades the stressful day's over I'm back again
Drifting off as I dream a little dream
And I'm somewhere submerged in clear water still breathing
Once in a while I got the Elmstreet blues
Meet confrontation head on when I'mma sleep too
Nightmares where a bullet leave a lung tore
Or dreams of hanging dead rabbits on your front door
Turned on the porch light, said 'this is war'
We might wanna pick up some sticks and stones before the fight
His words are too powerful to stop him
The master of the domain that he's lost in
No tossing and turning, Sandman's a great deceiever
Understands I needs his world as a pain reliever
Right after climax life smacked me
And I awoke to my alarm clock screaming at me
High-strung back to the world that I'm hiding from
Tried to run from the rising sun but couldn't get away
A pint of rum guzzled is an attempt to
My main man told me to live today but I'd rather hit the hay
To dream forever reach, and every goal reach to better me
Soul Creature's remedy, dope sleep will never be
Words I live by
Misguided kid tries
To get by
With this drive
No disguise
I just jot, a masterpiece together each and every
After releasing whether seeking treasure
Will be the trapped the beast forever
Evil half of the personality
Demons and Gods are wrapped around my axis
Battling, having it out, and things, haven't been looking up lately
Kinda' shooken up maybe, I should close my eyes
Tomorrow 'waken life's pushing up daisies
Hate to see the drama so I let go
Forget the world, being awake is too stressful!
