Aderra Te - Lullaby Lyrics

Shiver in the blankets, paranoia tucks you in
Who are you to thank if you're afraid?
Wither in the blankness old doors unlocked within
Comfortable, anxious and awake

If I fall asleep, wake me up
If I fall asleep, wake me up
Tell me it's a dream when I am happy and I'm safe
Don't make me believe that times will change and things will be okay

Had I ever pleaded for your love,
When you left me bleeding with no blood?
To battle I must stay awake
A smile on my face to push the pain away
'Cause "fake" is better than...

When you fear the darkness, or the light that hides the sun
Remember, fear is heartless and alone
'Cause when you ran the farthest you would've ever though you'd run
The compass turned regardless, pointing home

If I fall asleep, wake me up
If I fall asleep, wake me up
Tell me it's a dream when I am happy and I'm safe
Don't make me believe that times will change and things will be okay

Had I ever pleaded for your love,
When you left me bleeding with no blood?
To battle I must stay awake
A smile on my face to push the pain away
'Cause "fake" is better than...

Lullaby, lullaby
Hear the footsteps that come and go
In your mind now, let them die down
'Till they stop right there and take a look inside
(Don't you dare close your eyes) Drift into the distance, where a kingdom rose and fell
(Put a show on, and make it good) 'Cause those who choose resistance roam alone
(Never lessen your defenses) 'Cause when you stood and listened to what life had longed to tell
(One mistake and you'll forever say goodnight) The country road insisted, turning home
Turning, if I fall asleep, wake me up
If I fall asleep, wake me up
Tell me it's a dream when I am happy and I'm safe
Don't make me believe that times will change and things will be okay

Had I ever pleaded for your love,
When you left me bleeding with no blood?
To battle I must stay awake
A smile on my face to push the pain away
'Cause "fake" is better than...
