Cradles

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

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

Hush

Tape my eyes open to force reality

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

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

Hush
