gentle lullaby about a disturbed mind

Sleepwalker

SLEEPWALKER
It's ok
Fire's out and you're safe
Inside my arms
Safe from all the harm in the world

SLEEPWALKER
You climb the walls
Chasing shadows down the halls
But the fire trucks are all gone
And there's nothing left to burn

Firestarter in your swaddling clothes
Where you got it no one knows
Someone must have given you a light
And it grew and grew

SLEEPWALKER
It's no game
Holding hands with a flame
You cry inside
Coz smoke gets in your eyes

This ring of fire
It grows higher and higher til you can't escape
I take your pillow away
So you won't suffocate

SLEEPWALKER
It's ok
Fire's out it's much too late
To be awake
It's too late to be afraid
