[Intro Speech] “ This medication is intended to help you sleep. Are you ready to receive it now?” [Instrumental] [Verse 1] You fold in the dark Same ceiling Shifting shapes Little pills on your nightstand Promise peace Deliver haze You float above your body While your heartbeat counts the cost Trading colors for a quiet Till you dream in dental floss [Chorus] Dreams and nightmare He weighs what you hide Sand in your veins As he sifts through your pride Every whispered terror He turns into gold Dreams and nightmare He feeds while you fold [Verse 2] He walks through your static Bare feet on broken glass Naming every shadow From the corners of your past Says “I live in what you bury Not the stories that you tell” You grow softer in the powder He grows sharper in the hell [Chorus] Dreams and nightmare He weighs what you hide Sand in your veins As he sifts through your pride Every whispered terror He turns into gold Dreams and nightmare He feeds while you fold [Bridge] You swallow little sunsets (oh) Call it getting better But your hands still shake at dawn He is counting every tremor In the pharmacy’s pale light You confuse warm with safe While he’s writing out your value In the margins of your shame [Chorus] Dreams and nightmare He weighs what you hide Sand in your veins As he sifts through your pride Every whispered terror He turns into gold Dreams and nightmare He feeds while you fold
