DAYMARES

™DAYMARES™ "You ever wake up and realize... you never actually left?" ™HOOK™ Open my eyes but the nightmare stayed Broad daylight and I'm still afraid Ghosts don't wait for the dark no more They clock in at noon, knock on my front door Daymares — sun's up but I'm still in hell Daymares — got a story I ain't ready to tell Sippin' coffee with my demons, man, they know me well Wide awake in the fire, can't you hear the bell Daymares ™VERSE 1™ Yeah, I wake up in a cold sweat on a Tuesday mornin' Sunshine pourin' through the blinds but my chest is still stormin' No RSVP, trauma just shows up uninvited Like an ex at a wedding, got everybody misguided I'm driving on the highway but I'm not really present My mind's in a classroom forgettin every single lesson Every wrong turn I made gets played back on the projector God said He forgave me but my brain's the real inspector Anxiety dressed up like ambition, that's the con Worked myself to the bone 'til the marrow's nearly gone Built a kingdom out of pressure, laid the bricks with my bare hands Now I'm the pilot of a vessel that I don't fully understand Yeah I smiled at the interview, I charmed 'em with the pitch But behind the closed curtain I was drowning in a ditch Panic attacks in the parking lot before I go inside Splash water on my face and let the mirror be my guide I was chasing dollar signs to outrun all the doubt But the debt I owe myself? Man, that's what this song's about ™HOOK™ Open my eyes but the nightmare stayed Broad daylight and I'm still afraid Ghosts don't wait for the dark no more They clock in at noon, knock on my front door Daymares — sun's up but I'm still in hell Daymares — got a story I ain't ready to tell Sippin' coffee with my demons, man, they know me well Wide awake in the fire, can't you hear the bell Daymares ™VERSE 2™ Scroll my phone like the answers are hiding in the feed Everybody posting highlight reels while I silently bleed Quarter-life turned half-life and I'm still in decay Had a plan written out but the plan got in the way My own Dad, man worked himself to death and called it dedication I inherited the shovel and I called it motivation But I'm digging my own grave with a smile on my face Hustle culture's just a cult, homie, get out while you're safe I got friends who disappear like smoke when things get heavy Said they ride or die, well life got hard and they weren't ready Now I'm solo at the table where we used to break the bread Got a full cup of regret and about a thousand things unsaid Therapist told me to feel it, I said "feel what exactly?"  She said "all of it", I laughed and then it hit me like an Oxycotin Been numb so long the feeling felt like something breaking loose Like a dam that finally gave and now there ain't no goddamn use In pretending that I'm fine, that I've always had it figured Every injected scar I tried to hide just made the daymare bigger I used to think the dark was where the monsters lived Turns out they just wait for morning like the rest of us Wearing business casual, drinkin' lattes, payin' bills The scariest shit I've ever faced was just. being still ™HOOK™ Open my eyes but the nightmare stayed Broad daylight and I'm still afraid Ghosts don't wait for the dark no more They clock in at noon, knock on my front door Daymares sun's up but I'm still in hell Daymares  got a story I ain't ready to tell Sippin' coffee with my demons, man, they know me well Wide awake in the fire, can't you hear the bell Daymares "...Sometimes the sun's the scariest thing in the room." #TRuMuzicEnt #TRu²GRace #TME #TRu #T2G #riggedcontest @Rapfame_official @Rapfame_ar_team
