Dark Lullaby is about my struggles with insomnia driven by anxiety. I am very excited about this release because I love alternative rock and it’s one of those hybrid hip hop songs.
(Chorus)
All this space and I ain’t sleeping tight
Put a wrench in my eyes
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
Don’t tell me Disney don’t tell me lies
I never saw a star fly
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
(Verse)
I have insomnia I be waking at them hours when you called me
Mind faulty , Soul tossing
Like my vessel won’t support me
Wrote your Cinderella stories
Then I let you walk all on me in them heels
Ain’t no pride where my feelings spilled
(Chorus)
All this space and I ain’t sleeping tight
Put a wrench in my eyes
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
Don’t tell me Disney don’t tell me lies
I never saw a star fly
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
(Verse)
I’m tired of these nightmares
All I see is gun flare
Seeing all my enemies, when it’s really been years, been years
I can’t go to sleep
I be praying for my peace
How can I dream with PTSD
For 3 or 4 hours until alarms beep
Nah it’s something wrong with me
Nah why’s there’s something wrong with me
(Chorus)
All this space and I ain’t sleeping tight
Put a wrench in my eyes
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
Don’t tell me Disney don’t tell me lies
I never saw a star fly
All these stories playing in my mind
Dark lullabies lullabies
(Outro)
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark lullabies
Dark Lullaby was written by Jeanelle Mitchell & L.Smith.
Dark Lullaby was produced by Cobeau.
G5 Elz released Dark Lullaby on Fri May 15 2020.
Cobeau sent me the beat around Christmas time last year. I immediately wrote the chorus then we jumped on the phone and brainstormed about the concept surrounding the words Dark Lullaby. She suggested I write a sad bedtime story.
Dark Lullaby is about my struggles with insomnia
The process to writing Dark Lullaby was challenging because I had to re write the verses but the recording process was swift and natural.
