Lullaby

• Artist: SilvertongueSagittarius
• Description: A Male (M) -Female (F) duet sharing 3 stories of pathological love. The first story is one of an abused woman who can't take the way she's treated anymore, killing her husband in his sleep. The second is of a man whose love left him and, in a fit of obsession and despair, finds her and kills her as she sleeps, then takes his own life. The third, sung by both (B), is a story of two lovers so entangled in the hardships of life that they seek to end it by driving off a bridge.

FV:
Your eyes stole mine
Made me more than just a little girl waiting for a hero
Your hands hold mine
Pressing me to asphalt and refusing to let go
Agony's in my DNA
Tragedy's made me this way
I reached up
Grabbed Supernovas
I forced them
Into my eyes
Broken
Against your body
And vengeance tastes like compromise

FC:
I've destroyed myself in you
Gave you what I am and you blew it away
Like a storm drawn on the sunset
Colliding with the trees
I bent my body backwards
and you pushed me to my knees
I don't want to escape you, I just want to die
I tried to protect myself but failed every time
So this is the last time you'll kiss me goodbye
Sleep well tonight... This is your Lullaby

MV:
You ran away
Turned me into a monster waiting for you by the ocean
Nothing to say
It would be your worst mistake to challenge my devotion
Breaking down at your feet
Drowning in my misery
I reached down
Grabbed silken curls
Forced myself
Not to cry
Touching
My lips to yours
I snuffed the pain out with a sigh

MC:
I absorbed myself in you
You ran away and left the skies molten in your wake
An unrelenting pressure
Rose up inside of me
I held my only anchor
and gave in to Gravity
I don't want you to suffer, I just want to die
I tried to move on but I failed every time
So this is the last time I'll kiss you goodbye
Sleep well tonight... This is your Lullaby

Bridge:
M:The thrill of lobotomy
F: The urge for autonomy
B:I never imagined it would lead me to this
M: You taste like pollution
F: I'm done with confusion
B: All from the wreckage of an innocent kiss
M: My fist met your jaw
F: My nails broke your skin
B: I acquiesced to/ The monster within
Nothing else to do
M: I hit the gas
F: I taste broken glass....

B: I wrap my hands in yours
I know there's no other course
We're tarnished/ We're ugly
I love you/ You love me
And in a flood of anguish
All of our fears are vanquished
Why bother?/ This water tastes like fire in my lungs
We're monsters punished for our sins
We can't escape this if we try
Sleep well tonight....
This is your Lullaby.
