Cradles

I live inside my own world of make-believe

Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities

I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach

Cross out the ones who held my cries and watched me weep

I love everything

Fire's spreading all around my room

My world's so bright

It's hard to breathe, but that's alright

Hush!

Shh

Tape my eyes open to force reality (oh, no, no)

Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee?

I live inside my own world of make-believe

Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities

Somedays, I feel skinnier than all the other days

Sometimes, I can't tell if my body belongs to me

I love everything

Fire's spreading all around my room

My world's so bright

It's hard to breathe, but that's alright

Hush

Shh

I wanna taste your content

Hold your breath and feel the tension

Devils hide behind redemption

Honesty is a one-way gate to hell

I wanna taste consumption

Breathe faster to waste oxygen

Hear the children sing aloud

It's music 'til the wick burns out

Hush

Just wanna be carefree lately, yeah

Just kicking up daisies

Got one too many quarters in my pocket

Count 'em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket

Untied laces, yeah

Just tripping on daydreams

Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat

Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep
