Lullaby

It’s getting close to 6:05
I’m staring at the dawn’s clean light
While you’re peaceful in dreams
I come apart at the seams
Hoping that they save your life
Your heart is a centrifuge;
Rhythm raining down on you
Don’t be so alarmed
They mean you no harm
Just do what they’re telling you
Sometimes in the setting sun
It’ll feel like it’s all gone wrong
All you’ll see in my ghost
The lump in your throat;
A temple of siren’s song
It sounds like a lullaby
Hear the whispers when you close your eyes
Don’t fall for its call
Don’t feel guilty at all
If all you do is wait up all night
Am I the ghost in your picture frame
Or the mark on your camera lens?
What truly is better, that I’m with you forever
Or that I’m in a peaceful place?
Sometimes in the setting sun
It’ll feel like it’s all gone wrong
When you look in the mirror
There’s nothing but fear
No-one to rely upon
That’s when you’ll find me
