Freddy in the Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up in the dream lane, back of your mind Red stripe on the glove, got five for the shine You sleep like it’s safe, then I creep in the frame Cut through the hush, put a name on the pain Knitted grin mean, but the jokes still land Burnt hands clap when I step through the sand You talk big online, then you fold in the bed One eye open, still you see me instead [Pre-Chorus] You can run that route, but the dream ain’t clean Hear that little laugh in the gap between I don’t chase facts, I just chase that fear When the lights go soft, I get crystal clear [Chorus] Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream Talk sweet, then I hit that scene Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You wake up shook, but you still see me Cut from the cloth, got a razor clean gleam Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You say “not me,” but you know what I mean Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream [Verse 2] Cold black top, but I move real slick Little bed in the dark and the joke got thick Dream on your head like a tag on a fit I’m a punchline problem, a sleep-state hit Got a wicked little grin, got a blade-line flex Got the whole room tense when I step to the next You want peace in the night, better guard your zone 'Cause I turn your safe place to a haunted phone [Pre-Chorus] You can beg for a break, but the loop don’t cease I’m the side-eye thought in your sweet release When you blink too slow, when you drift too deep That’s my cue to slide through your sleep [Chorus] Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream Talk sweet, then I hit that scene Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You wake up shook, but you still see me Cut from the cloth, got a razor clean gleam Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You say “not me,” but you know what I mean Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream [Bridge] Now it’s hush in the room, let the tension bloom I’m that half-smile hanging in your moonlit gloom You thought you were slick, thought you beat that beat But the same old dread got a new bounce feet (yeah) (too late) When the dream gets loud, I don’t need no key I’m already inside where you hide from me [Chorus] Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream Talk sweet, then I hit that scene Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You wake up shook, but you still see me Cut from the cloth, got a razor clean gleam Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream You say “not me,” but you know what I mean Freddy in the dream, Freddy in the dream
