Lullaby For a Cat

Oh damn
Volume way up on my phone
And
Next to my head on the floor
And
Beats on repeat
The rain tap dancin’ on my
Windowpane
Whoever said no pain no gain
Don’t know pain
Intimately like I do
As infinitely as I do
Been lied about and lied to
Too many times to fight it
Some bridges were built to burn
No need to help ignite it
A party of one or party of none
Please keep me disinvited
Tuck you in
As I tuck another tear
Behind my eyelids

I must have nine lives
From endeared to endangered
Everytime that I die
Six feet near, I hear laughter
My guardian angel
Hand in hand with my demons
Got me walking the fine line
Between here and hereafter
I pray
No more lullabies
When I wake up
No more false alarms and no surprises
Yeah I pray
That the Sun will rise
I pray that no one dies young
No more sad goodbyes

Good night
