"The Dream" lyrics
Violent J Lyrics
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
I begin my walk on a downward slope
The sand is red, so hot it's hard to cope
There's six suns above me, sweltering
Millions of beetles fly, pelting me
I'm not alone, there's others bound to dead trees
They have no mouths but their eyes, they cry, "Please!"
I stay in my path as it leads me to a cave
Thank God, or the heat will bring me to my grave
Into the mouth of the big red mountain
The first thing I see is a giant blood fountain
As the plasma flows I see a dog drinkin' from it
The smell of death in the air makes me wanna vomit
But I don't, I maintain to move ahead
There's three ways to go and two will leave me dead
I'm on a trail in the middle and all I'm knowin'
Is that this tunnel's gettin' smaller, or I'm growin'
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
I come to an opening and sit to rest
I notice I got leeches on my arms and chest
I pull 'em off, look up and see a boy
He tosses me a ball, I throw him back his toy
He waves "Come on!" I think about it and reach "yes"
He turns around and starts walking, I'm speechless
The back of his head is blown off, like a shotgun buck
And I'm like "What the fuck!?"
I stick with him anyways as brains are falling out
I wanna help the kid, I keep calling out
And come to a giant pit. It looks bottomless
I'm right behind him like "How we gettin' out of this?"
He turns around facin' me and like he's heartless
He flips me off and falls back into the darkness
And silently plummets, I back track some
Like why was I followin' him anyway, I'm that dumb?
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
I finally found a way out. It's night time
I can see the galaxy just lookin' at the skyline
There's fireflies buzzin', big as baseballs
Serpents, snails, and everything that crawls
I can see a tree in the pale light of the moon's glow
The closer I get, the more I make out the show
Bodies, hanging by the neck, maybe twenty of 'em
All with no arms or legs, man, so many of 'em
Way up at the top, all over the bottom
Plenty on the floor who must have fell, just rotten
It's probably got a name but I rather not know it
Did people put them bodies there or did the tree grow 'em?
Four moons in the sky sheet with wings
I can see them walking on the planet's rings
Where the fuck am I? I'm lost in my brain
I'm being eaten by a snake when I hear my name
Joe wake up, wake up, you're having a nightmare
Jeez, are you okay? (Fuck) God, [?]. (Shit)
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse (Darkness)
Yeah I'm trippin' on it, stranded on a dream (Oh, darkness)
Please don't leave me on it, shrouded in the clouds (So wonderful)
On my nightmare, someone let me out (All I know)
(When I'm stuck in a dream) I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse (Darkness)
Yeah I'm trippin' on it, stranded on a dream (Oh, darkness)
Please don't leave me, I'm shrouded in the clouds (So wonderful)
On my nightmare, someone let me out (All I know)
(When I'm stuck in a dream) I don't wanna die here
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
Sleep is like a curse, yeah I'm trippin' on it
Stranded on a dream, please don't leave me on it
Shrouded in the clouds, on my nightmares
Someone let me out, I don't wanna die here
I begin my walk on a downward slope
The sand is red, so hot it's hard to cope
