Sandman Lyrics by Jo$h XO

Joshua

2024

[Chorus: Jo$h XO]
Sandman doesn’t come when I just need to sleep
Now that I'm awake, I’m tryna find some peace
Every single night, it gets so hard to breathe
Every single hour passes with no means
People clocking into life without a need
But, here I am, I’m overthinking everything
Every single night I cry and cry again
Every fucking hour passes with no end
[Verse 1: Jo$h XO]
I’m tryna find myself, but, life will never help me (oh)
I’m stuck inside a loop of happiness I envy (oh yeah)
And people who I thought were always by my side (my side)
Turns out that they all lied (all lied), but, they still try to help me (help me)
I wanna be myself for once (I wanna)
I wanna live my life for once (I wanna)
But, everything that I will do, it never gets done (it never gets done)
These battles that I’m fighting (I’m fighting)
It’s shit that I’m avoiding (I’m avoiding)
But, like I said in past songs (yeah)
I wanna be me, but (yeah, no)
[Chorus: Jo$h XO, XOMBOY]
Sandman doesn’t come when I just need to sleep (need to sleep)
Now that I'm awake, I’m tryna find some peace (I’ll find some peace)
Every single night, it gets so hard to breathe
Every single hour passes with no means (oh yeah)
People clocking into life without a need (without a need)
But, here I am, I’m overthinking everything (everything, yeah)
Every single night I cry and cry again (I do)
Every fucking hour passes with no end
[Verse 2: XOMBOY, Jo$h XO]
Take me back in time and heal me doc
I need some love ‘cause I cannot sleep
Staying up staring at the ceiling, lost in my dreams
While I'm wide awake, pass out, I have no recollection
Like Neil Gaiman invaded my head
I got his collection of works inside my home
‘Cause my momma love him, I'm still new
But, I think one day my writing will touch him
‘Cause I want the sandman to come back and give me my dreams
That aren't in a wasteland and give me some inner peace
I miss you even if I don't wanna admit it
Fuck you for life, I'm my biggest critic
I been stayin’ up writing lines and freestylin’
This shit diamond city, I'm in the dugout inn
I'm feeling like there's a fallout ahead
But then I wake up, it's just inside of my head
Passing classes, parking passes
My life don't stop there's no end
Every night I wish for peace for all
While I look at the posters up on my wall
Wanna use my dreams, but, I can't if I don't have them at all
So, I won't shed no tears unless the world gon’ fall (ha!)
[Chorus: Jo$h XO, XOMBOY]
Sandman doesn’t come when I just need to sleep (yeah, I just need to sleep)
Now that I'm awake, I’m tryna find some peace (yeah, I’ll find some peace)
Every single night, it gets so hard to breathe
Every single hour passes with no means (no)
People clocking into life without a need (oh, without a need)
But, here I am, I’m overthinking everything (oh, everything, I do)
Every single night I cry and cry again (no, cry and cry again, yeah)
Every fucking hour passes with no end (no, passes with no end)
[Outro: Jo$h XO]
He doesn’t come, no
I cry and cry again
Passes with no end
I just need to sleep
I’ll find some, some peace, no, no
