My Songs

Cutter's Lullaby

I went to sleep, and closed my eyes

I dreamt of broken butterflies, that tore their wings against a thorn

I knew the pain that they had borne

Silver metal that shone so bright, with scarlet blood that felt so right

I dreamt of that blood trickling down, and woke just before I drowned

The moonlight was shining off my tears

As I bled out my worst fears

At night when I started to cry, I whispered the Cutter's Lullaby

Hushabye baby, I was almost dead

I didn't have a pulse, and my pillow was red

My family hated me and my friends had let me bleed

I slept with a knife, cause it was all that I needed

Rockabye baby, I was broken and scarred

I didn't know life would be so hard

It was time to end the pain I had hidden so well

And down came baby, straight back to Hell

I won't let you destroy yourself

I wish there had been somebody to save me from myself

Rain will wash away your tears

And drown your worst fears

Go to sleep, close those beautiful eyes

Dream of my broken broken butterflies, that ripped their wings against a thorn

You have felt the pain that they have borne

Silver metal shining so bright, covered with scarlet blood that feels so right

Dream of that blood trickling down; I promise I'll wake you just before you drown

The moonlight shining off salty tears

As you bled out your worst fears, they know your weaknesses

But tonight when you start to cry, whisper this Cutter's Lullaby

Hushabye baby, put down the knife

You shouldn't end your life, 

Your family loves you and your friends don't want you to bleed

Sleep without a care in the world, dream in which you only succeed

Rockabye baby, perfect and unscarred

I know that life is hard

Don't end anything, you have done so well

And banish those demons straight back to Hell

Count the stars

Because I love you

I will kiss your scars

And never leave you

Would you please put down the blade?

Can you live for more than another decade?

Will you stay forever with me?

I'm just saying you're the girl for me.
