lyrics

I have my fathers eyes, his cheap disguise, his dirty lies roll in.
I lay on my weakest side and cry tonight to the moon.
The strangers in the middle, the lights grow dimmer in this empty room.

Your biggest mistake was to think that you could relate.
(the stars will weep for me now.)
Your sweet absence fills my desire to hate.
(And I can't find you at all.)

It's not guilt you feel it's wilting steel of your own pathetic pain.
Emptiness resonates my holy kingdom
Is this Paradise or Oblivion?

Don't you cry it's only a lullaby.
(Everyone will die.)
I'll be alright come the remedy sun.
(Everyone is no one.)
It hurts so much to see yourself in my face.
(Memories won't erase.)

Don't you cry it's only a lullaby
(Wake me up)
Don't you cry it's only a lullaby
(Wake me up)
