Lullaby

Verse 1:

As untamed passions allure, you discover your voice
Regretful words turn inside out into a bellowing noise
Upon ravished raged lips, drips our long lost love song
The beat has lost it’s timing, yet the music plays on

Verse 2:

Tongue-tied deceptions awake, entangled by your spells
Discord in the notes become louder as the melody swells
Between every phrased verse lies a lie meant to despise
Hallowed hymns, screamed out of tune, about your sacrifice


Chorus:

But if this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby
Sing it slowly and softly, lay me down and deep
If this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby
Whispering sway movements of memories to keep

Let us end this on a high note as the song subsides
A forgiving fading moment as our love learns to die
If this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby

Verse 3:

The sweetest of fruit, a prelude to the poison’s sweet sin
My mind hears your burdened bow spiccato playing again
It holds me hostage like a transgressor’s insincere prayer
The dark droning static never ends in this rivaled affair

Chorus:

But if this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby
Sing it slowly and softly, lay me down and deep
If this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby
Whispering sway movements of memories to keep

Let us end this on a high note as the song subsides
A forgiving fading moment as our love learns to die
If this is goodbye, sing it to me like a lullaby

Repeat Chorus:

Outro:

Depart, not in anger, as our love dies tonight
May that final encore soar in beauty's delight
Then break me down tenderly with one final lie
Love me, leave me, break me, with a lullaby
