On “Hush”, Au/Ra sings a dark lullaby, aimed to calm a panicked mind, or perhaps, incite a deeper kind of fear.

[Verse 1]
Feel me now, I know that you can hear the crowds
Outside your window, tapping on the glass
Looking for a crack in your mind
On the prowl, just for a chance to steal your smile
I'm gonna keep them underneath your bed, out from in your head
Close your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now, don't you cry
[Chorus]
No tears when the night falls, when the night
No fears, everybody shine
If the roof caves in while you sleep tonight
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
I'm gonna kill your fears alright
If the roof caves in while you sleep tonight
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
[Verse 2]
Dive deep, pool parties
Streamers on your face, they love the tastе of your dreams
No more Z's, I know the feeling, watching thе ceiling
[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now, don't you cry
[Chorus]
No tears when the night falls, when the night
No fears, everybody shine
If the roof caves in while you sleep tonight
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
I'm gonna kill your fears alright
If the roof caves in while you sleep tonight
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
[Bridge]
(Hush)
(Hush)
(Hush)
(Hush)
(They don't need to know)
(I know you can hear the crowds)
(Outside your window, tapping on the glass)
(Looking for a crack in your mind)
[Outro]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
I'm gonna kill your fears alright
If the roof caves in while you sleep tonight
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby (Hush)
