See you shake your head
as my stomache turns.
I know that made my bed,
now I must lie in it.
Not to sleep or dream,
insulated my hopes and fantasies
that what you say is true,
nightmares can't really hurt me.
So tell me lullabies,
all your sacred lies
to confuse my mind.
Tell me its okay, because
you'll be just around the corner.
Comfort me.
You never checked the window.
Please look in the closet again.
Don't bother looking under the bed,
that's where I like to hide from them.
Have you seen their eyes?
They put pictures in my mind
or fire, flood, chaos and catastrophe,
then there's the things
they tell me about me.
I know where they come from,
and I know why they're here.
But what does it matter now?
At least I feel safe hiding here.
So tell me lullabies,
all your sacred lies
to confuse my mind.
Tell me its okay, because
you'll be just around the corner.
Comfort me.
For like the time with them,
the time without them never lasts.
Do you think I'm crazy, mom?
Is my face here really just a mask?
Just comfort me
with your empty promises.
Please numb my mind
with these hollow lies.
They're not coming for me
and it's all just a bad dream,
I can't really see what you can't,
and the truth is its me that's blind.
Comfort me.
Lie to me.
Will you, please.
Not leave me.
