[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)
