Human Lullaby

And when I close my eyes,
This blackened canvas falls,
And darkness starts to shine
And dreams begin to call
And when I watch them float,
I hold my sleeping breath, these secrets, hidden truths,
That live beyond my death.

Loneliness is sweet,
This paradox is sleep.
It's a human lullaby,
one more reason why
Loneliness is sweet,
Yesterday just burnt away

And when I place this ear,
Against the pebbled ground,
I can feel the world
Breathe, exhaling,
Earthly sounds, they hover deep
The mechanism turns,
The clockwork creaks slowly
As the molten lava churns,
Loneliness is sweet.

Loneliness is sweet,
This paradox is sleep.
It's a human lullaby,
one more reason why
Loneliness is sweet,
Yesterday just burnt away
