Lullaby

[Verse 1]
Like a marionette hanging from its strings
You live, you love, you dance, but it's not real
So take a bow, emaciated little thing
Cause you finally have the audience you need

Thinking back to your mother's lullabies
How you dreamed of drifting free across the sky
Now you drag your approximated cut-out wings
And show the fractures in your perfect porcelain

[Chorus]
Don't waste your life away
Oh, a black heart's a noose
So cut your strings and come down
I feel a different way
You see bruise, I see bloom
In everything you hear sound

[Verse 2]
Like a Roman candle flickering
Oh how easily our dreams are extinguished
And I know that you can't forget if you can't forgive
All the pain I see you burden yourself with

[Chorus]
Don't waste your life away
Oh, black heart's a noose
So cut your strings and come down
I feel a different way
You see bruise I see bloom
In everything you hear sound

[Refrain & Outro]
(We waste our lives away)
With these laments to youth
(We're all lost anyway)
So cut your strings and come down

(We waste our lives away)
Looking for things to lose
(We're all lost anyway)
[?] sound

Cause the black heart in you
(We're all lost anyway)
Is the only thing that I've found
(We waste our lives away)
That matters at all
(We're all lost anyway)
