Everywhere I go

It echoes through the walls

Haunting lyrics

to a silly little song

A nursery ryhme

Almost a crime

Hurting my brain

Contorting my soul

Rock-a-bye baby

In the treetop

__

__

The pictures fill my head

Thoughts I wish not to think

I beg my brain to shut up

To leave me alone

When the wind blows

The cradle will rock

Thinking full lyrics

it only leads to peril

A full song

is a wish

that hopes to come true

When the bough breaks

The cradle will fall

__

I swear I can hear creaking

And groaning

and moaning

Sounds I wish not to hear

Intrusive thoughts

That fill my brain

And evil melody

of pain

And down will come baby

cradle and all

I hear a faint scream

A cry a yelp

I yearn to help

But the song wont stop playing

It plays until its all i know

Until no one is safe around me

The intrusion of it

The whole ordeal

Is haunting me

Baby is drowsing

Cosy and fair

The words wont stop

They never leave me alone

No medicine or help

will do

I dont want to hurt you

I am only hurting myself by

keeping it locked up inside

But i dont feel safe

Mother sits near

In her rocking chair

No one can love me

in a state like this

I feel so alone

without any bliss

Alone with my thoughts

all day and all night

Becoming worse every second

I cant put up a fight

Forward and back

The cradle she swings

I feel isolated from the world

My brain a poison

to all who come near

Killing me slowly

It gets colder

the thoughts keep coming

I want them to go away

Please just go away

And though the baby sleeps

He hears what she sings

A close to the thoughts

you think comes at night

But never do they cease

And continue to fright

Go away from me

You think I am awful

The thoughts tell me so

They tell me everything I need to know
