[Verse 1]
He tried to sleep
He closed his eyes
Because the world has fed him lies
He dons his mask
He fades away
So he may live another day
He is afraid
Of what’s become
Of living hope
It is undone
He tries to grasp
Hope slips away
Melt into night
Or face the light of day
But he feels alone…
[Chorus]
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Is it too late to ignore
What the future has in store?
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Go and lock the door
Save us from this evermore
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Is it too late to ignore
What the future has in store?
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Go and lock the door
Save us from this evermore
[Verse 2]
He lies on thorns
His bed, the ground
His eyelids serve no purpose now
His only friend
This silent room
The air, his shroud
This house, his tomb
The shadows crawl
Beneath his skin
War rages on
And tears within
Stars disappear
The sun will win
Yet he denies
That It will rise again
But he knows it’s true…
[Chorus]
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Is it too late to ignore
What the future has in store?
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Go and lock the door
Save us from this evermore
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
It’s too late to ignore
What the future has in store
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Go and lock the door
Save us from this evermore
[Bridge]
Dreams are exposed, unopposed in the light
Sunrises barricade fear of the night
Music and harmony cradle my mind
Verses and melody slow my decline
The colder it gets, the more I realize
That I will be blessed when I meet my demise!
[Chorus]
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
It’s too late to ignore
What the future has in store
Lullabies aren’t for babies anymore
Go and lock the door
Save us from this evermore
