Lay Your Head Down Child

My heart beat 5 times today
Each and every thump for you

I must keep it quiet
Always in disguise for no one must know

Am I undermining your will
Or force-feeding you pills to put you back to sleep

I can’t do that to you my friend
Just walk with you to find your happiness

Whatever road that may be
Wherever the path may lead

All I speak is logic and reason
Truth and knowledge washed up from experience

For I have faded and materialized
Conjured up the marks and the will

I have sailed with the winds from the south
And listened to the dolphins lullaby

I lead you not but I am temptation
And you can deliver me from all of the evil

If you could believe in me and
Walk this frightening skeleton road

Sunshine will meet you on the other side
This much I can swear to you

But stay away from those that will kill
They do it with reckless abandonment and no remorse
