Words From a Broken Soul

Nobody's Lullaby

(this is about the first time I ever cut.)

Sitting on my bed tonight, but there's no chance of sleep.

For I am too empty of soul and mind, all I can do is sing.

Singing to make the hours go by, singing nobody's lullaby.

"Hush little baby, nobody cares

cry all you want, nobody's there

Pencil to paper, razor to skin

Nobody cares now just like nobody cared then

Trying to scream away the darkness,

only finding broken lights

Looking for an exit, only finding solemn plights."

Before I know it, I'm soaked in tears.

I'm thinking of memories, obligations and fears,

thinking of facing another day, causing pounding in my ears.

Still singing and thinking from where I lay,

of the lyrics that take the pain away.

So when I feel the need for a gruesome goodbye,

I sing Nobody's Lullaby.
