Devil's Lullaby

Under the covers, I can hear you cry

You’re singing the devil's lullaby

Reach out to grasp the darkness

Try to lift you out of this mess

Grasp the darkness, nothing more

This is becoming a chore

Haunting me day and night

Filling me with fright

Couldn’t save the one that meant the most

Now he’s naught but a ghost
