Текст песни: A Lullaby, sort of + перевод

Mother’s found a lump

Suddenly, everyone’s preparing for a visit

We need to say the words she never said

She’s bought a wig for going out

But when it itches, she lets her hair down

We avert our eyes from death

And wonder which of us is next

Summer’s slumbers kept us younger

The world’s a perfect place

When you don’t know what’s swept under the rug

Just the nose upon your face

Don’t look behind the curtain

In innocence, we are all saints

My father lost his father to a cancer

That left everyone unanswered

Now no one dares to ask about him anymore

I wonder if his father had lived

Could they have settled their differences?

Will we settle ours yet

Or bear these grudges to our deaths?

Autumn’s fallen, hallways darken

The world’s a scary place

It’s best not to know what’s under the bed

Behind the closet door

Your innocence is bliss

Don’t sully it with what’s unknown

Winter’s fingers are boa constrictors

The world is full of heartbreak and lust

And maddening joy

One begets the other

I don’t regret the honey or the sting

Now I lay me down to sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep
