Hush. Be quiet.
You're going to start a riot.
Your silent tears are simply drops,
They don't deserve my comfort or props,
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
Stop. You'll wake them.
There, wipe your nose on your shirt hem.
See? You're fine,
No need to mentally whine,
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
Please, they need their rest.
No reason to wake them with this test.
Life puzzles you, as it is,
You damn sure ain't no wiz,
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
You're tired, and so am I,
Please forget you want to die,
Save that thought for another night,
Put your head down, do what's right.
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
They'll wake up soon, then you'll see,
Death isn't easy as 1, 2, 3.
You'll miss them, and they'll miss you,
You know everything I say is true.
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
Alright, I love you. Is that what you want to hear?
A sweet phrase whispered in your ear?
I'm just the voice inside your head,
Saying "Shut up, go to bed!
It's much to late for all this dread! You don't really wish that you were dead!"
Now, please, be quiet and go to sleep.
Now, be quiet and go to sleep.
Now... Be quiet.
And go...
To sleep.
