Cradles lyrics

[Verse 1]

I live inside my own world of make-believe

Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities

I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach

Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep

[Chorus]

I love everything

Fire's spreading all around my room

My world's so bright

It's hard to breathe but that's alright

Hush

Shh

[Verse 2]

Tape my eyes open to force reality (Oh no, no)

Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee?

I live inside my own world of make-believe

Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities

Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days

Sometimes I can't tell if my body belongs to me

[Chorus]

I love everything

Fire's spreading all around my room

My world's so bright

It's hard to breathe but that's alright

Hush

Shh

[Verse 3]

I wanna taste your content

Hold your breath and feel the tension

Devils hide behind redemption

Honesty is a one-way gate to hell

I wanna taste consumption

Breathe faster to waste oxygen

Hear the children sing aloud

It's music 'til the wick burns out

Hush

[Outro]

Just wanna be care free lately, yeah

Just kicking up daisies

Got one too many quarters in my pockets

Count 'em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket

Untied laces, yeah

Just tripping on daydreams

Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat

Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep
