Whisper of Silence |✓

Hush Little Baby

This nightmare won't ever come to an end,
I'm slipping away, going round the bend
The monsters coming alive, the spirits are chasing,
My mind is spinning and my heart is racing

Life isn't worth it, it tears you apart,
It crushes you, breaks you, I don't know where to start
I'm too numb to feel the pain, appalled by the thoughts,
Going through the times when it was worth getting fought

Every second revolves around how to stay sane,
To let go of madness, find a cure for the pain
But it gets harder and harder each and every time,
While your mind is screaming, to be forced to smile

Hush little baby, go to sleep,
Dream of the future, the seeds sown deep
Hold still and wait for that tree to grow,
Don't cut it down before the green leaves show

At one point the emotions are so strong that I,
Can't even pull through to feel myself cry
I can't put my head down and shut out the world,
I can't be a brave-faced beautiful girl

I can't lie down and let the nightmare fade away,
I can't remain hoping for the feelings to escape
Each minute dwells on with a powerful blow,
That hits me harder than you'll ever know

I can't walk out looking like nothing ever occurred,
It can't go living in this stone cold world
Getting crushed by the weight of the words around,
The assaults like bullets that fire to the ground

Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Dream of fantasies, not of all that's occurred
Pretend you're a princess with a mighty knight,
If you want to seek happiness, just turn on the light

I know that this life will never again mend,
I want to hold a blade and put this misery on end
I want to swallow a few and drift away in silence,
Put an end to insanity and the mental violence

I want to feel the blood rush onto my palm,
Feel the power drain, feel the rush of calm
I can't run off to a land far away,
I know the pain will linger, it'll be here to stay

Taking a deep breath and holding it close to my skin,
Knowing that it's over, after all the struggle's been
Shutting out the voices that tell me otherwise,
Slamming out the screams and the silent cries

Hush little baby, go to sleep,
It'll be okay, just wait and see
Hold on, stay strong, you'll make it out,
Stifle out your screams and your panicked shouts

Hush little baby don't give up,
Your skin isn't paper so don't you cut.

It'd be a shame to lose another beautiful face in this world. Your skin isn't paper. So don't cut it. It's a canvas you can use to project your emotions. Use it that way. Show people how you feel, express yourself clearly. Be an open book. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Hang in there. There are people who love you and would stop at nothing until they see a smile stop that lovely face.
