Mean Dreams Lyrics by DBMK

Headlights For Eyes

2018

[Verse 1]
Now
Place my fear in a jar
That’s how the conversation starts
I hear you talk so smooth
I break my back over everything i do

[Pre-Chorus]
I got so many faces I can be what you want
And I’m the only apparition with the stomach in knots
Changing into people that never tell me to stop
I’m terrified of sleeping so I’m always slipping into all my

[Chorus]
Mean dreams, there's an aching
Sew me up, it's just my luck
I never, ever seem to be enough, no
Feel the sting
Caught in between
Nothing in your chest, doing your best
I never, ever seem to get any rest, no

[Verse 2]
Creep around the scene
I’m hanging portraits of beliefs
You are the only living soul who isn’t scared to death of me
Your boy’s outside and I guess that's fine
But I bet he doesn't understand your love of the night
Searching for the brave nocturnal slip
She’s a body in a cemetery full of dance hits

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I can be what you want
And I’m the only apparition with the stomach in knots
Changing into people that never tell me to stop
I’m terrified of sleeping cause I’m always slipping into all my

[Chorus]
Mean dreams, there's an aching
Sew me up, it's just my luck
I never, ever seem to be enough, no
Feel the sting caught in between
Nothing in your chest, doing your best
I never ever seem to get any rest

[Verse 3]
Superficial speaker
You were stuck in the teenage
And I am not the boy that comes in cool in the first place
I only think in poetry, none of it’s any good
Living in my prose and I keep it under the hood like oh
I've been schemin’ low on the Plan B, yeah
You never understood what the words mean

Watching how you feel when the night comes
You think you know the deal just like everyone

Yeah I keep it imperfect on purpose
You think you comprehend when you're scratching the surface
I’m holed up with anxiety, I’m only living outwardly
I have to keep on talking so I can find something worth it

[Chorus]
Mean dreams, there's an aching
Sew me up, it's just my luck
I never, ever seem to be enough, no
Feel the sting caught in between
Nothing in your chest, doing your best
I never ever seem to get any rest

Mean dreams, there's an aching
Sew me up, it's just my luck
I never, ever seem to be enough, no
Feel the sting caught in between
Nothing in your chest, doing your best
I never ever seem to get any rest
