Lullaby

And though my sermon salts the air

My ears are soon left empty, silence still holds dominion

Words once adorned are now laid bear

Unpolished lumps of nothing, so much unheard opinion

Silence now dill, Hush now be still

All is at ease, Rest now 'n peace

Come now sleep

So shut My mouth and close my eyes

I've no strength left to patronize

So much to see with eyes wide open

But not a thing worth placing hope in

So hold me now in sweet pretense

If life's not worth the effort at least it keeps my interest

Like fools embracing ignorance

Striving to still ambition, hopes grip is so relentless

silent now rest come happiness

All is at ease hush now don't speak

Come now sleep

So shut my mouth and close my eyes

I've no faith left to compromise

There's so much to see with eyes wide open

But not a thing worth placing hope in

Is that the Idea, It all seems like such a rip-off

Am I supposed to act like it's O.K.?

And take it like a man?

Don't give me that fantasy, I've nothing but

Apathy and Impotent anger

And not a thing worth placing hope or anticipation

Accept the gentle thought of darkness

And silence

And slumber.
