Craig's Brother - Lullaby lyrics

And though my sermon salts the air My ears are soon left empty, silence still holds dominion Words once adorned are now laid bear Unpolished lumps of nothing, so much unheard opinion Silence now dill, hush now be still All is at ease, rest now 'n peace Come now sleep So shut my mouth and close my eyes I've no strength left to patronize So much to see with eyes wide open But not a thing worth placing hope in So hold me now in sweet pretense If life's not worth the effort at least it keeps my interest Like fools embracing ignorance Striving to still ambition, hopes grip is so relentless Silence now dill, hush now be still All is at ease, rest now 'n peace Come now sleep So shut my mouth and close my eyes I've no faith left to compromise There's so much to see with eyes wide open But not a thing worth placing hope in Is that the Idea, It all seems like such a rip-off Am I supposed to act like it's okay? And take it like a man? Don't give me that fantasy, I've nothing But apathy and impotent anger And not a thing worth placing hope or anticipation Accept the gentle thought of darkness And silence and slumber
