Sleep is a Door (Horrorcore Rap Version)

STUDIO

[Intro]
The street looks ordinary
Until your eyes close
That’s the whole con
That’s the whole show

[Verse 1]
Kids learn the house numbers, parents learn to lock the dark
Law lost a man and the man learned a hallway no bolt can mark
He don’t stroll the sidewalk, don’t knock, don’t park, don’t plead
He waits where the tired minds clock out and bleed
Boiler ticking like a bomb under brick, laugh that ain’t a laugh
Red in the steam, name in the seam, autograph on the path
You run a school hall that grows when you need it short
Wake with a mark — night keeps the court
Sleep ain’t a blanket, ain’t a hymn, ain’t a meek little amen
Sleep is a door
And he already said “come in”

[Refrain]
Sleep is a door
Not a mercy
Sleep is a door
And he has the key
Stay awake
If you can
The dream is sharper
Than the street
Sharper than the street

[Verse 2]
Don’t nod off, don’t trust the quiet, bed was never the fort
Last safe place was a lie you bought and the receipt came short
Count the minutes, not the sheep, sheep get carved in the wool
They burned a body, missed the rule — that’s the joke, that’s the pull
If you can die in a dream, morning don’t mail you a pass
Dawn is just a hallway with better glass
He learned your block the way a lock learns a pin
Same street in the sun
Same street when he lets himself in
I rap it so you hear the hinge
Not so you sleep again

[Refrain]
Sleep is a door
Not a mercy
Sleep is a door
And he has the key
Stay awake
If you can
The dream is sharper
Than the street
Sharper than the street

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
They struck the match
They missed the math
Body gone
Lease still signed
You don't get a why
He brought a when
You don't get a bed
He brought a bend
In the hall
In the heat
In the name
On the sheet

[Final Refrain]
Sleep is a door
Not a mercy
Sleep is a door
And he has the key
Stay awake
If you can
The dream already
Knows your street
Knows your name
Knows the hinge
Sleep is a door
Don’t you blink

[Outro]
The street looks ordinary
Until your eyes close
I said it twice
So you don’t
