Scared To Sleep - Demun Jones (official audio)

Written by: Demun Jones
Produced by: Jayson KoKo Bridges
lyrics:
I've been losing sleep my dreams are dark I think it's killing me
Voices in my hair keep telling lies I just can't believe
Don't know what I did to earn this evil it won't answer me
Hallowed be thy name is watching over but I'm scared to sleep
The things I've seen make me unclean a scene
I wish I'd never have to look again but it replays in my dreams
Forgive me for my trespasses maybe then I can let it go
Maybe then I can forgive you for yours who knows but I probably won't
Losing hope is why but I ain't much for hide and seek
Man the Internet ain't got it all I've been searching for weeks
Tried to vent on social media it got me looking weak
Went and spoke my mind on Twitter got reported by a geek
Ain't no mercy for no white man shut your mouth no don't complain
Got a truck a house and money ain't no way you feeling pain
If you've never seen the play then you can't understand what I'm saying
I'll be waiting at the top til you learn to climb then I'll explain
I've been losing sleep my dreams are dark I think it's killing me
Voices in my hair keep telling lies I just can't believe
Don't know what I did to earn this evil it won't answer me
Hallowed be thy name is watching over but I'm scared to sleep
As I lay me down to sleep if I should die before I wake
Maybe then I'll find relief cause Jesus knows I need a break
I've been hella working out but I'm not prepared for the weight
Man it's loaded all of my shoulders toting memories I hate
I just can't let it go I close my eyes and they it is
Though it was some years ago its like it just happened again
I'm so guilty with resentment please forgive me for my sense
Now the devil's on the playground with my family and friends
How can I protect provide if I'm the one that's running scared
If I neglect what's inside and lose my mind I'm good as dead
Can't escape from under my skin it's a disease and it has spread
All the odds are stacked against me I can't hang onto a thread
I've been losing sleep my dreams are dark I think it's killing me
Voices in my hair keep telling lies I just can't believe
Don't know what I did to earn this evil it won't answer me
Hallowed be thy name is watching over but I'm scared to sleep

[@joevandeneede1133]

Thanks D. Great lyrics. Listened to this song multiple multiple multiple times today on Spotify. I know you're telling a personal story. However Im sure many people can identify w the lyrics in their own way including myself. Thank you for sharing it with fans 👏👏😴😴🙏❤️

[@Lisa-qc8lk]

Really good 🎶

[@purebloodforever3057]

One love Jones! we can do it all in a straw hat...i hear that man!

[@DavesRealTalk89]

Thank you so much for putting a mental health song out during men's mental health awareness month. I truly appreciate you brother. Anything I can ever do to help you or the other brothers I will.

[@wademoore5203]

My opinion. God gave you a gift of your music to connect with people to help people and even save people. Lord knows at times your music gave me the strength to rise up on several occasions and bust my a$$ for my family and realize life is short and becareful chasing that dollar because I have 6 kids at home missing me. Thank you, Demun Jones, more than you'll ever know! 🙏

[@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle]

I quit FB & rarely ever used YT until a friend sent me your Give 'Em Hell years ago. You're the reason I'm on YT so much now lol. Your nightmares inspired a song, I couldn't comment. Too deep. Held out until now to listen. I know what it's like to get less than 14hrs of sleep (not on speed) a week & just because my eyes were closed, I wasn't resting. Eventually started reciting to Saint Michael, contacting people I've wronged years ago & asked them for forgiveness. I was definitely "Scared To Sleep". 😇✌️

[@smmhb878]

"As I lay me down to sleep should i die before i wake, maybe then I'll find relief cause Jesus knows I need a break " Can so identify!!! Just remember, God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and unfortunately the pain gives our souls the growth that we need to ascend to a higher level.🙏🌠💜 Hang in there, the storm doesn't last forever! 💜

I’ve been listening to music for 20 years, this is my favorite song/message I’ve ever heard. God bless you Jones.

[@theresabates4570]

Great song!!! ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing this!!!!

[@DeepCRK]

There is no other artist in this entire "country rap" game who is more relatable than this man. People like Church, Acal and Brodnax all drop some DOPE bangers but Demun just has a way of making music that people actually can feel is written about them. Amazing song, glad youre getting over that hard stage of your life. Love you sir

[@DemunJonesMusic]

🙏🏼

[@2JonETX]

I posted a comment before about this being a hi tech pedophile cult that has been attacking families and recovering addicts and mass stalking people at risk youth in east Texas that comment is gone but there’s another comment about similar to my fist I can’t even remember what all was there but definitely said people in east Texas have been needing help for years same thing that they use to try and control your dreams is capable of way worse evil and can cause tremendous amounts of pain no one should ever suffer that in their own homes especially families but the other post I just read had parts of my initials Jon c most people call me Jonathan but family and people I grew up with call me Jon jon

[@devannerodgers2476]

[@jonghost3100]

Bro you killed it, super relatable with a bouncy cadence, your time is almost upon us, not that you haven't already had a long deep run, but something tells me that the masses eyes are about to be on you, and not just the south

[@RavRSix]

“Losing hope is why, but I ain’t much for hide & seek” Demun…. Brother spoke from MY heart 🤜🤛

[@Jaybrahamdrinkin]

Demun, your amazing in my.opinion. better then all the other country rappers. All about family, where yas from, stress of life. True country man.

[@nascarbug]

Came across you and Danny Boone years ago and been jamin ever since. I have watched you grow as an artist and love the vibe. You are a great example of what a human should be regardless of your past. I pray you find inner Zen and get some rest. Keep fighting the fight you are not alone. You are an inspiration, stay well my friend. ✌️

[@usermn1742]

4am and 2hrs left until quitting time jamming to some demun Ryan and acal to stay awake

[@christophergenereux1793]

Love this song with my depression I have faced many demons and still working at defeating them

[@MelissaLinares-x2j]

Submit to God,resist the devil and he will flee. Drop your sins come to repentance and call on Jesus when you have a problem. Pray when you need something from God he will gladly give it to you if it aligns with his will.

[@christophergenereux1793]

This music helps with the depression is what I was getting at

[@MelissaLinares-x2j]

@@christophergenereux1793 yes it does it's called frequency healing talks about it in the bible that's why David would play instruments to calm sauls spirit.

[@downeastbucks]

This song needs to move up the charts 💯💯💯

Bro I was having wicked dreams. My doctor gave me pantoprazole before bed for reflux. Took me a while to figure out that was the cause. I would stay awake for days because of the graphic fugged up dreams I was having. I'm feeling this record. I know it well. Fire beat and record brother.

[@jessicamcardle21]
