Sing to me, as I'm drifting off the sleep Faded charts beside my feet I don't want to die alone Close your eyes, as my body is being lit Buried in an iron casket Flying too high for the embers to glow I'm too scared to land Please hold me by the hand I think I am drifting away Please hold my tight Where I am there is no light To comfort me as I begin to dream And if you can't hear breathing Don't worry about a pulse that isn't there Don't hold on however much you care Just don't stop singing We can always sleep Another day Sing with me, I've drifted off to sleep Name tag tied to my feet I do not want to die alone Sing with me I've drifted off to sleep And I do not want to die alone

Mortuary Lullaby
Sing to me, as I'm drifting off the sleep Faded charts beside my feet I don't want to die alone Close your eyes, as my body is being lit Buried in an iron casket Flying too high for the embers to glow I'm too scared to land Please hold me by the hand I think I am drifting away Please hold my tight Where I am there is no light To comfort me as I begin to dream And if you can't hear breathing Don't worry about a pulse that isn't there Don't hold on however much you care Just don't stop singing We can always sleep Another day Sing with me, I've drifted off to sleep Name tag tied to my feet I do not want to die alone Sing with me I've drifted off to sleep And I do not want to die alone
A bit of a rush job. Planning on editing it tomorrow. Alternate names appreciated. Critique even more appreciated: pros, cons, suggested edits, whatever comes to mind.
