Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Apr. 21, 2015]

Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby

Luck is a myth
You reach the abyss
And you sumersault to your death
You die in style
Deep in denial
Broken at the foot of the cliff

Wishing that you'd hid yourself away
Expectations rise and fall away

You're drivin' blind
The road is mined
How many times can you lose
You can't see the sun
You can't get things done
So you bury yourself in the blues

Suddenly you find you're standing still
You shiver but you can't shrug off the chill

Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby

There's blood in your tears
A buzz in your ears
And all your faith is scattered over the floor
You pick up the pieces
And your golden fleeces
They don't seem to exist anymore

You thought that you could manifest your dreams
Then you find you're on the losing team

Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby for the lonely
Lullaby

Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby

Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby for the lonely (Can't you feel yourself falling apart)
Lullaby
