Sugar Sick Sweet Lullabies

I had this dream last night and it was perfect It was everything I wanted my life to seem So when I opened my eyes to this bright sunlight I realized some things weren't the way that they should be I put my feet into my shoes, which are old and dusty and I don't remember when they were ever clean I ran around my town asking people for my purpose And none of their answers seemed to fit alright Come keep me at bay Cause the world's spitting us all out one by one And we've all sinned enough to know that we're gonna die someday I've tried to be myself but I'm running low on health To fight all those who tell me to be a certain way Though I don't cry out my eyes every time that a stitch undoes itself Cause nobody's gonna save you when can save yourself, darling Even at a quarter after noon mothers are singing their babies Sugar sick sweet lullabies that I know all too well Haven't you ever noticed the way that their voices crack When the child forgets the words and the tune stays with them alone? Come keep me at bay Cause the world's spitting us all out one by one And we've all sinned enough to know that we're gonna die someday
