lyrics

[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1-

We used say to say 'the smart was never clever' and 'some was always never/'
The world was so sweet without the hole in the center/
Polyphonies Rhyme Swords used to walk like cyborgs,
Meanwhile in Berceusia there lived a lifeform/
That was blunt with sharp words, piercing, call it knife corpse/
Robe, rockin’ hoody over T’s and tight shorts/
In Polyphony, his story was nice lore/
He jumped from dream to dream, too bad he didn’t like sports/
Things weren’t always what they seemed with this fellow/
Although his speech was clean, he teeth turned to yellow/
Mostly, he was mellow but inside grew disgust/
He made a pact with evil and took the people’s trust/
Any purity left in his eyes would erupt/
His heart turned to ash as his smile turned dust/
His face shriveled up, soon his hands were corrupt/
Carrying a dream-giving dust within a cup/


[J-Mylez] -Hook-

Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't want to go to sleep/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't wanna be here to see it/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
Because They ain't always what they seem/
Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/
That's why they call them dreams/


[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2-

In polyphony, they called him the “Hero of dreams/”
Just a sprinkle of his dust would bring about “Z’s/”
And most would believe that he served a great deed/
But, with this fellow, things weren’t always what they seemed/
Kept in Berceusia, in a place that was hidden/
Was the book of the dream, inside, death was written/
Wishful thinking opposed wisdom, and led to addiction/
Bringing about the end of the victim/
Sleep was the cousin of death/
He hustled dreams in the streets to ones filled with stress/
And addiction fed, until there was nothing left/
Of whoever used the dust, where their trust lied in rest/
Sometimes, it seems that good is evil/
That monsters can be people, and the strong are feeble/
Lies can make up human laws indeed/
But, in Polyphony, things aren’t always what they seem/


[J-Mylez] -Hook-

Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't want to go to sleep/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't wanna be here to see it/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
Because they ain't always what they seem/
Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/
That's why they call them dreams/


[J-Mylez] -Breakdown-

I don't wanna close my eyes one minute/
I wanna stay awake/
'Cuz as soon as I turn my back on the Sandman/
I know my soul he'll take/
You can say what you wanna, do what you wanna/
I'm never gonna close my eyes/
'Cuz I'ma live how I wanna, do what I wanna/
And I'ma keep my head to the sky/


[J-Mylez] -Hook-

Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't want to go to sleep/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
I don't wanna be here to see it/
Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/
Because they ain't always what they seem/
Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/
That's why they call them dreams/
