Lullaby Lyrics

Lullaby lyrics

And though my sermon salts the air

My ears are soon left empty

Silence still holds dominion

Words once adorned are now laid bear

Unpolished lumps of nothing

So much unheard opinion



Silent now rest

Come happiness

All is at ease

Rest now in peace

Come now sleep



So shut my mouth and close my eyes

I've no strength left to patronize

So much to see with eyes wide open

But not a thing worth placing hope in



So hold me now in sweet pretense

If life's not worth the effort

At least it keeps my interest

Like fools embracing ignorance

Striving to still ambition

Hope's grip is so relentless



Silent now rest

Come happiness

All is at ease

Rest now in peace

Come now sleep



So shut my mouth and close my eyes

I've no faith left to compromise

So much to see with eyes wide open

But not a thing worth placing hope in



Is that the idea?

It all seems like such a rip-off

Am I supposed to act like it's okay?

And take it like a man?

Don't give me that fantasy

I've nothing but apathy and impotent anger

And not a thing worth placing

Hope or anticipation

Accept the gentle thought of darkness

And silence 

And slumber
