The Broken Lullaby

By AllenTaylor

 The broken lullaby 
Taunts me through the night 
My demons always try 
To break the will to fight 
A beautiful tragedy 
Has shown itself for all to see 
This comes as no surprise 
Between my blinded eyes 

The broken lullaby sings 
One more song, "Goodbye" 
Is it through with me? 
I don't know 
In my core inside 

I hear it play again 
It's where the pain begins 
The Crypt in my own skin 
It's where I find a friend 
A beautiful tragedy, has finally surrounded me 
Wake me from this misery, the tune lulls me to sleep 

And I know it's me 
Who locked me in the cage all this time 
And I know this Hell is forever mine...
