Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Haven’t slept in days Still see the same scene Bills on the counter Red ink, grey screen Phone full of ghosts They don’t ever check in Kitchen light flickers Like it’s counting my sins Concrete on my chest Wide awake, can’t scream Doctor said “rest” Yeah, I laughed in his face Said I dream in reverse All my peace replaced With a to-do list Written over my grave [Chorus] Nightmare when I wake up I don’t gotta fall asleep All these demons in my daytime They the ones that run from me If life wanna haunt me Tell it come and try, we’ll see I don’t fear the dark, nah Life should be scared of me Life should be scared of me (hey) Life should be scared of me [Verse 2] Boss talk tough But his hands still shake I can hear his pulse From across that space Bank on my back Like a hand on my throat Then I smile too wide Watch the color just go Sirens at the window That’s my lullaby Same car, same faces They don’t meet my eyes Every bill, every threat Every letter they send Just more little teeth On a plastic grin [Chorus] Nightmare when I wake up I don’t gotta fall asleep All these demons in my daytime They the ones that run from me If life wanna haunt me Tell it come and try, we’ll see I don’t fear the dark, nah Life should be scared of me Life should be scared of me (yeah) Life should be scared of me [Bridge] You think I’m trapped? I’m the crack in the glass I’m the laugh in the back When the room goes black Every bad hand dealt Every cut, every scar Turned my skin to armor Turned my heart to tar So when the day comes crawling With its teeth and its teeth Tell it knock on my door I eat nightmares in my sleep (ooh)
Tags
rap, Menacing dark trap, male vocals. Sparse piano plinks under detuned bells and an eerie choir pad. Verses ride a slow, heavy 808 with skittering hi-hats; vocal sits close and cold, almost whispered. Chorus widens with distorted bass swells, layered low-octave chants, and subtle pitch-shifted ad-libs. Final hook pulls instruments down to a murmur so the lead vocal sounds like a threat in your ear.
