Go to sleep, close your eyes
And dream of broken butterflies
That tore their wings, against a thorn
You know the pain that they've endured
Silver metal shines so bright
Scarlet blood that feels so right
Dream of that blood trickling down
And wake up just before you drown
The moonlight shining off your tears
As you bleed out your worst fears
So tonight when you start to cry
Whisper the cutters lullaby
Hushabye baby, your almost dead
You don't have a pulse and your pillow is read
Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed
Sleep tight with a knife, 'cause that's all you need
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred
You didn't know life would be this hard
Time to end the pain, you hid so well
And down you'll come baby
Back home to hell

Go to sleep, close your eyes
And dream of broken butterflies
That tore their wings, against a thorn
You know the pain that they've endured
Silver metal shines so bright
Scarlet blood that feels so right
Dream of that blood trickling down
And wake up just before you drown
The moonlight shining off your tears
As you bleed out your worst fears
So tonight when you start to cry
Whisper the cutters lullaby
Hushabye baby, your almost dead
You don't have a pulse and your pillow is read
Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed
Sleep tight with a knife, 'cause that's all you need
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred
You didn't know life would be this hard
Time to end the pain, you hid so well
And down you'll come baby
Back home to hell
As much as I'd like to take credit for this, I can't. I found it while on the internet and it struck me as beautiful.
