Lyrics

Lulled by Numbers

Who put the mess in your head

Filtering the sense of all you could have said?

Who stole the words from your mouth

So twisted in contagion, and reaching out?

If this is the lullaby, then

Why am I not sleeping easy?

If you leave me alone, I will come home

Dragging my tales behind me

Sweetheart, they'll hang me out to dry

When nothing is left

There is always us

When nothing is left

There is always us

If I could sing you to sleep

Lay you down and pray that you’re a soul to keep

I would be all that you need

Wider eyes oblivious to everything

If this is the lullaby, then

Why am I not sleeping easy?

If you leave me alone, I will come home

Dragging my tales behind me

Sweetheart, they'll hang me out to dry

When nothing is left

There is always us

When nothing is left

There is always us

When nothing is left

There is always us

When nothing is left

There is always us
