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 held 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) (shh) 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 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) 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) Just wanna be carefree lately, yeah Just kicking up daisies Got one too many quarters in my pocket 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
