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!
