“Lullaby” was released in 2005, around the same time as the album Vheissu, as a b-side.
The lyrics largely consist of a response to the well-known John Lennon song, “Imagine” (also covered in a heavier style by A Perfect Circle in 2004). “Imagine” paints an idealistic, humanistic picture of society...
[Intro]
What are we all living for
If nothing's worth dying for tonight?
Your dreams are not enough, what I need is love
That's worth laying down my life
[Verse 1]
Sing along, just like they taught us
It's soothing your mind, this lullaby
No heaven above us
Just mile after mile of empty sky
[Verse 2]
No right or wrong, can you imagine?
A world where there's no more need to cry
But no joy or passion
It seems that the price is much to high
[Pre-Chorus]
But I am holding out for something real
[Chorus]
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes to so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
[Bridge]
You say that you're a dreamer, well I'm a dreamer too
But I won't sing your lullaby
However well-intentioned, it's neither good nor true
The pallid dream is just a lie
It's just a lie!
[Pre-Chorus]
But I am holding out for something real
[Chorus]
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes to so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
[Outro]
What are we all living for
If nothing's worth dying for tonight?
Lullaby was written by Riley Breckenridge & Eddie Breckenridge & Teppei Teranishi & Dustin Kensrue.
