End You In Your Dreams

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro] You hear that gravel at the edge of the room That ain't a warning, that's the sound of your doom [Verse 1] I keep a cold stare under a black-brim hat No need for a crowd, I can handle all that You crossed one line, then you crossed two more Now your name's getting carved on the cellar door Boots on the porch, mud on the floor You brought bad blood, I brought something more I don't make threats that I can't make true Every road you take bends back to you [Pre-Chorus] When the county goes quiet and the porch light dies You'll feel my footsteps where your courage hides [Chorus] If you mess with me, I'll end you in your dreams Come apart at the seams, nothing's what it seems Like a nightmare in the dark, got you running from the dark You can lock every door, but you can't outrun the mark If you mess with me, sleep won't set you free I'll be waiting in the place you never want to see [Verse 2] I got red clay dust on the side of my truck A hard-earned name and a whole lotta luck You talk real loud when your friends stand near But your voice gets small when the truth gets clear I was raised where a handshake carried weight Where a fool learns quick not to tempt his fate You mistook my patience for a soft reply Now the moon's gonna watch while your alibis die [Pre-Chorus] When the wind hits the tin and the hounds don't bark You'll hear my name rolling through the dark [Chorus] If you mess with me, I'll end you in your dreams Come apart at the seams, nothing's what it seems Like a nightmare in the dark, got you running from the dark You can lock every door, but you can't outrun the mark If you mess with me, sleep won't set you free I'll be waiting in the place you never want to see [Bridge] No, I ain't your ghost story, I ain't your saint I'm the debt at the door that your lies couldn't paint You wanted a war, now remember my face Every bad decision leaves a permanent trace Close your eyes, count slow, hear the floorboards bend Some fights start in daylight but they never end [Verse 3] I move like a rumor through the pine tree line One eye on the road and one eye on the signs You can change your number, you can leave the state But a guilty heart travels at a terrible rate I don't need revenge dressed up in gold I just let the night do what it was told When the last porch swing starts moving alone You'll know that the reckoning found its way home [Final Chorus] If you mess with me, I'll end you in your dreams Come apart at the seams, nothing's what it seems Like a nightmare in the dark, got you running from the dark You can lock every door, but you can't outrun the mark If you mess with me, sleep won't set you free I'll be waiting in the place you never want to see If you mess with me, remember what I said Some names keep walking long after they're dead [Outro] Turn the lamp down low, let the whole house breathe You can wake from a nightmare, but you can't wake from me
