Nightmare Bass Line

Lyrics

[INTRO] They’re pushing a mask, a lie wrapped in a veil, Claiming it’ll save us all, but it’s a fragile sale. The only time it worked was when the guns were raised, A flash of steel in the dark, a promise that betrayed. [VERSE 1] Take a shot of the potion, hope for a cure, But the world’s going crazy, we’re lost in a blur. No sir, no shot—famine ordered, famine’s rule, Forms to conform or face the slammer’s cruel. Gave me time to comply, a deadline to abide, Ordered never to fly, in the shadows we hide. “Damn, what’s my last meal? Am I preparing to die?” The clock’s ticking, but my spirit won’t comply. [CHORUS] “Hey Mr. Sandman, can you bring me a dream?” “Can you put me to sleep, or just let it all gleam?” In the night we’re screaming, but the silence is deep, Hold my hands tight, let the nightmares weep. [VERSE 2] “Why us?” the question, a cut in the line, He started to whisper, “we’ll bring the slaughter this time.” Weeds grow thick, a silent army on parade, The future’s a battlefield, a price that must be paid. Dear Sandman, I can’t sleep, the night’s a fierce fight, Hope you and Fred can steal our dreams in the night. Awoke sweating, a panic in the air, “It was all a dream,” the voices declare. [R&B CHORUS] “Hey Mr. Sandman, can you bring me a dream?” “Can you put me to sleep?” in the midnight beam. The rhythm pulses, a heart that won’t cease, Let the lullaby guide us to a tranquil release. [BRIDGE] Pulling back the curtain, a world that’s wrong, CDC, UN trucks, surround the building strong. I’m shook, I’m shaken, the ground’s about to move, In this dreamscape, we’re still searching for the groove. [HOOK] They want me to believe,
