Hush little girl
The rain's almost gone
Just overhead
Is the ground
Where you can lay your pretty head
You can rest
Close your eyes
Sleep away eternity
And your lies
Hush little girl
It's just a hole
Nothing scary about the dark
Or the cold
You can release a sigh
As you're covered with dirt
Nothing will sting
No more hurt
Hush little girl
As your mouth is covered
No need to scream
When no one could see
The invisible seam
Your life was unraveling on
