'Lullabies don't work no more I locked the windows, blessed the walls The doors are sealed with lines of salt The only thing that could break in’s The harsh light from the parking lot Another shitty motel room Another body to exhume Another nightmare shaking you Another vision waking you Bite down on that frightened shout Don’t want the neighbors coming out Yeah take a breath and let it out And tell me what you’ve seen… When we were young and you got scared I’d tell you it was just a dream – I’m here to keep you safe, I’d say, And that part’s true eternally, But I can’t tell you truthfully that it was just a dream. You shouldn’t trust a children’s game but three times you said Mary’s name You saw your lover in the flames She tells you that you were to blame Another stretch of open road An absent father’s trail gone cold And every time your eyes drift closed She’s burning bright and uncontrolled… Now you’re slammed awake again A nightmare that will never end She’s never coming back you know So take a breath and let it go I wish that I could take back all the things that you have seen When we were young and you were scared I’d tell you it was just a dream – I’m here to keep you safe, I’d say, And that part;s true eternally, But I can’t tell you truthfully that it was just a dream. Oh god I wish that I could tell you it was just a dream It was just a dream there’s nothing’ out there… There’s nothin’ out there – go to sleep… go sleep. – Olivia Chrestomanci, esbeani@lj
