A Cutters Lullaby

Go to sleep, and shut your eyes, Please dream of broken butterflies That tore their wings against a thorn. For you know the pain that they have borne. Silver metal, shines so bright. Scarlet blood, that feels so right. Dream of the blood that's trickling down, And wake up just before you drown. The moonlight's shining off your tears Bleed out all your petty fears. So tonight when you start to cry You better whisper the cutters lullaby: Hushabye baby, you're almost dead. You don't have a pulse and your pillow is red. Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed. Sleep tight with a knife, cause it's all you'll need. Rockabye baby, broken and scarred. You didn't know life would be this hard. Time to end the pain that you hid so well, And down will come baby, straight back to hell.
