the lullaby grows moldy. savior taught us that ugly has no value. since the song is no longer beautiful, it has no more worth to us. we find that everything around us has rot. savior is the only beauty left in this promised land. we plug our ears, close our eyes, and promise never to give in to the disgusting power of this world. we'll be by saviors side forever.

the savior knows deep inside that we would like to leave. but truth is, we've grown fond of the pain fed to our stomach. we love our savior and the lessons we've learned. it would be unfair to leave when the utopia we've known all these years has decayed. we trust that the pain will be bearable if it means we can hold the beauty in our palms again one day. we must stay a little longer.

Someday I'll learn to value me
for every little thing I do.
Someday I'll feel like I'm good enough.
I'll say the words and they'll be true.
Someday I'll notice all my good
and love every part of me.
Someday the voices in my head
will stop punishing me endlessly.
Until that day, I cry and cry
and wipe my tears away
with the prayer that I'll be enough.
someday, oh, someday.
