From the original version of this song’s bio:
The song is from the perspective of a girl who is in love someone. The circumstances aren’t quite clear, but she may have been separated from them at some point, and they may or may not have been reunited. She wakes up from a nightmare in which the one...
[Prologue - Almighty U-Sorcerer]
I can't even sleep, this shit is too much
[Verse 1 - VinylZombie_MCR]
They were coming for you, they were gonna hurt you
So I stepped in, did what I had to do
They were following you, they were gonna circle you
So I stepped in, did what I had to do
[Pre-Chorus - VinylZombie_MCR]
But when I close my eyes
I'm stuck in a memory
Where I watched as you
Were torn away from me
[Chorus - VinylZombie_MCR]
Haunted by these bad dreams where I can't do a thing
To save you from the night
Haunted by these bad dreams
Where I can't make it right
These bad dreams, these bad dreams
Are breaking me
Haunted by these bad dreams
Oh, bad dreams
[Verse 2 - VinylZombie_MCR]
They were coming for you, they were gonna break you
So I stepped in, did what I could to save you
They were circling, they were gonna get you
So I stepped in, did what I had to do
[Pre-Chorus - VinylZombie_MCR]
But when I close my eyes
I'm stuck in a memory
Where I watched as you
Were torn away from me
[Chorus - VinylZombie_MCR]
Haunted by these bad dreams where I can't do a thing
To save you from the night
Haunted by these bad dreams
Where I can't make it right
These bad dreams, these bad dreams
Are breaking me
Haunted by these bad dreams
Oh, bad dreams
[Pre-Verse - Almighty U-Sorcerer]
I know I couldn't always be there
I'm depressed I wasn't there this time
[Verse 3 - Almighty U-Sorcerer]
They were coming for you, they were gonna snipe your ass
So I stepped in, all my niggas fighting back
I have dreams about saving you, then my sleep undo
And my demons creeps, this ain't no dream come true
It's a nightmare turned real, can't believe that this happened
You in Heaven, see niggas, can't even imagine
Wish I was out there, so I could save your ass
We had dreams of throwing graduation caps
Now I had dreams of the same memory repeating
They left your body bleeding and the enemies retreating
And I didn't even look out the window and pay attention
I have so many emotions, I can't express it
Rambo locked up, they couldn't even let him see his brother
Me and him go way back to Nokia's and pizza cutters
When Faneto passed, I had dreams of us lick hitting
Think it's real living until my brain say quit kidding
I ain't haunted by the bad dreams
I'm haunted by the best ones
I was tripping for a minute, like this shit seem impossible
I seen you in the hospital and then I feel responsible
I think you must be a lil lonely at the crossroads
Who the fuck killed my homie, only God knows
I wanna pop a thousand Percocets, the feeling painful
All I know is when I get there, I got a seat at the dinner table
[Chorus - VinylZombie_MCR]
Haunted by these bad dreams where I can't do a thing
To save you from the night
Haunted by these bad dreams
Where I can't make it right
Haunted by these bad dreams where I can't do a thing
To save you from the fright
Haunted by these bad dreams
Where I can't make it right
These bad dreams, these bad dreams
Are breaking me
Haunted by these bad dreams
Oh, bad dreams
Bad dreams
Bad dreams
