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
