Lullaby For Beginners

Oh it's such a long road into your heart
Oh if I'd foreseen it, would I still start (at it)?
Oh the gods are staring from the heavens
most of them have their best on "never"

There's no lullaby for the dead
No band aids on the inside of our heads
There's no antidote for weakness
there is nothing that can heal this
so instead

Oh I take the long way home at night
Oh I count my steps when you're out of sight
Oh I watch my step with every thought
most of the time I remember I'm still young

There's no sancuary for the sinners
There's no comfort in our beds
There's no formula for forgiveness
there is nothnig that can heal this
so instead

Oh I draw a map that takes me to redemption
You and your name don't get a mention
Oh the gods are laughing at my pain
most of them think we're all the same

There's no lullaby for the sinners
Bloody band aids in our beds
We're the formula for weakness
There's no antidote for the dead
And the heavens can come fall down
sneaking up on me through my tracks
Here's a lullaby for beginners
I can't force you to love me back
