Hush My Baby

Hush my baby,

Don't you cry,

Everything's going to be all right.

You're just another tortured soul, 

Living in this thing called life.

Poisonous skies, 

And tortured loved ones,

Are just the monsters that play at night.

Hush my baby,

Don't you cry,

Everything's going to be all right.

You're just another tortured soul,

Living in this thing called life.

Dissected babies,

Bloody rooms,

Filled with dread and doom.

Rats eating at your chest.

You eating at your flesh.

Are just the monsters that play at night.

Hush my baby,

Don't you cry,

Everything's going to be all right.

You're just another tortured soul,

Living in this thing called life.

Man made beasts, 

You! their feast. 

Deception,

A life infected with lies.

Your freedom taken,

Your innocence demise. 

Are just the monsters that play at night.

Hush my baby,

Don't you cry,

Everything's going to be all right.

You're just another tortured soul,

Living in this thing called life.

Sacrifices of self and soul, 

until you lay dead and cold.

Are just the monsters that play at night.

Hush my baby,

Don't you cry,

Everything's going to be all right.

You're just another tortured soul,

Living in this thing called life.
