Lullaby 04:19
i can feel your heartbeat so heavy in your chest i wanna let it out just like a bird free it from your rib cage shivering little animal i wanna build a fire for you don't fear the big bad wolf i'm gonna scare it away for you sleep now, let the night creep into your window sleep now, let the light seep into your dreams

when the night comes in and everyone's asleep i wake and watch the moon ghosts are crying in my tired head they hide under my bed and they come out at sunset and they say go, go away with us to a place where your thoughts can calm down and where you'll sleep forever but i don't want to sleep forever just one night, one night when did the moon become my only friend and i don't remember since when i've been awake but if i'm awake then why do i feel so dead i cannot hear my heartbeat cannot control the thoughts in my head all this tiredness leaves a hole in my mind it's like weaving darkness with your eyes it's like breathing black light it's like watching a songbird die oh, break down the walls i built around myself since the day i became a ghost the day i became a ghost the day i became a ...

Stars 03:19
i'm staring into the darkness, unable to sleep finding comfort in the lit windows across the street - to know there's another restless mind i wish you could sleep so tight the stars above are sending me morse signals i can't decode still their flickering light is a tiny flicker of hope that even after we're gone a little light will shine on i wish you would shine on

What's Left 06:39
there is only one thing that is left of you in my room it is the scent of your skin on my pillow that has become so familiar but i dont want it to be there anymore because you're gone and the last thing i need now is the thought of you on that pillow when i try to sleep 'don't you cry', that's what you said when you left but darling, those tears were all i had to make my heart a little lighter i went out to feed the ducks gave them all the bread i had in my pockets but they were never satisfied they were staring greedily with their beaks opened wide and i thought why do they always want more than i can give? why do they always take everything i have? i tried to give you all that was left and in the end you were all that i had why do they always want more than i can give? why do they always take everything i have? why do they always want more than i can give? why do they always take everything i have?

floorboards are creaking under my feet like a strange bird's cry in the night and a wind from a far-away land plays with my curtains and whispers oh so quietly a lover's sigh the howling of a dog the stillness of the night and the creatures in the dark leave me shivering 'go to sleep now!' i can't go to sleep 'sleep well, honey!' but i cannot sleep 'sweet dreams, darling!' my dreams are never sweet
