Sleep

You slept on me

Simply pretended you did believe,

In the dreams I did conceive

Thought I'd be too blind to see

You slept on me

Told me you were down for the ride

Even walked right by my side

Your true intentions tried to hide

You slept on me

Told me that words were inspiring

While all the time conspiring

To kill the flame inside of me

You slept on me

Saying you felt the depths in my lines,

The journey through my mind

While hating all the time

You slept on me

And let me down just when I needed you

When I tried to climb

My ladder you did hide

You slept on me

Tried to deceive me with your lies

With the words you gave so kind

But it was all a device

A diversion

A subtle excursion of praise and accolades

Of encouragement and words, designed, to look like they were there help move me along

Keep me going with life’s song, when all along

You were plotting, and trying to bring me down and silence the lines

The truths that lives deep within the wells of my soul,

Hiding in the places you refuse to go because you are afraid

To open up your mind, to the hurt, the pain, the emotions that fall down like rain, and drown you like waves

Jealous of the ways in which I travel through the ins and outs of the things lying way down deep in side

Of the lines that escape me, so rhythmically and fluently, Influentially

Effortlessly designed to amaze, so you hate

But that’s okay, I’ll move on, live on, breathe continuously swimming in pools of grey searching for that light

The one that you tried to destroy

Pretending that you were on board

But you didn’t know my power

And now that you're asleep, in your dreams I will seep

Impregnate, seed, infect you with the words that you tried to escape

Like the sandman I will wash over you with my truths, subconsciously invading the parts you tried to deny that you saw in me, but I can see in you

And now you’re sleep and helpless,

Powerless to the rhymes

That flow across the boundaries of space and time from my mind into your mind now your mine

And you’ll never break free, no never break free

And when you wake my voice will be imprinted on your mind

Engraved on your heart, the thing you tried to stifle, now forever will be a part of you

There’s nothing you can do

Your plan has bounced back on you, the very thing you thought I couldn’t do I have done to you now what

Tell me, now what

There is no what, the battle is won, you're done I came out number one

And now you can see that you shouldn’t have tried to play me

You slept on me

That was your biggest mistake cause now what you tried to run away from will follow you to your grave

You slept on me.
