nightmare to dream

0:00

Title: "Night Shift" [Intro] Yeah... Last night I woke up screaming, This morning I woke up seeing. Big difference. [Verse 1] I woke in a cold sweat, shadows on attack, Heart beating double-time, thought I'd never make it back. Every face looked twisted, every whisper meant war, Running through a maze with no visible door. Demons wore my memories, pain in disguise, Every broken promise had a pair of glowing eyes. I was fighting for my breath in a house made of fear, Till I cracked both my eyes—"Wait... how'd I get here?" Sunlight hit the window like a friend saying, "Rise," Truth don't always whisper—it'll shock your eyes. What was hunting me at night lost power in the day, Guess perspective got a funny kind of way. [Hook] I woke from a nightmare, now the picture done flipped, Same ghost, same road, just a different script. What used to haunt my soul now it points the way, That same hallucination became my dream today. That same voice saying, "Run!" now it's saying, "Fly," Same mountain in my path but I'm reaching for the sky. Every monster I survived became part of the team, Woke up from the nightmare... walked into the dream. [Verse 2] Used to fear the echoes, now I sample every sound, Building brand-new kingdoms from the ruins on the ground. Every scar's a blueprint, every fall's a map, Every dead-end alley turned into a launch pad. Funny how the mind can repaint the same scene, Hell in one chapter, heaven in between. Same flashing lights, same voices in my head, One called me to the grave, one pulled me ahead. Maybe all the phantoms just wanted to be known, Maybe every shadow was a seed overgrown. When I quit running, they dissolved in the light, Turns out the destination was disguised as the fight. [Bridge] The difference wasn't the vision... The difference was me. Fear wrote the first draft, Faith rewrote the story. [Final Hook] I woke from a nightmare, now I'm chasing what's real, Turned panic into purpose, turned survival into zeal. Same hallucination, but the colors all redeemed, Yesterday a prison... today it's where I dream. If tomorrow brings another midnight scream, I'll stand, 'Cause I know the darkest visions can be shaped by these hands. I don't curse the night no more—I thank it for the theme, Every nightmare's just a rough draft... Before it learns to dream.
