Lullaby

James · Laid [1993]

Since your mother cast her spell, every kiss has left a bruise

You've been reading too much meaning from existence

Now your head is used and sore, and the forecast is for more

Memories falling, like falling rain, falling rain



Every view they hold on you's a piano, out of tune

You're an angel, you're a demon, you're just human



Now your world has turned to trash

Broken windows on the past

Take that child and teach him senseless

Damage the dream, damage the dream

I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all

I feel nothing at all



In this gloomy, haunted place

All the feelings are of shame

All the windows have been broken by the children

So the wind screams up the stairs

Slams doors and rattles chairs

I wish we weren't conceived in violence

Damage the dream, damage the dream



The magic is broken

The house is in ruins

Your memory's one-sided

The side that you're choosing feels nothing

Feels nothing at all

We feel nothing at all
