cutter's lullaby
by whitney burnett
(usa)
go to sleep and close your eyes
dream of broken butterflies
who tore their wings against a thorn
you know the pain that they have borne
silver metal shines so bright
scarlet blood that feels so right
dream of that blood trickling down
and wake up just before you drown
moonlight shining off your tears
as you bleed out your own worst fears
so tonight when you start to cry
whisper the cutter's lullaby
hush-a-bye baby you're almost dead
you don't have a pulse and you pillow is red
your family hates you and your friends let you bleed
so sleep tight with a knife 'cause its all you need
rock-a-bye baby broken and scared
you didn't know life would be this hard
it's time to end this pain you hid so well
and down will come baby straight back to hell
