lyrics

dear mother ghost
let's make a toast to this empty hallway that I roam
dear mother ghost
let's make a toast, these empty rooms have never felt like home

sing a soft requiem for baby teeth
we don't live forever
who'd wanna live forever?
I don't want to
sing a soft requiem for baby feet
we don't live forever
who'd wanna live forever?
the years have been long enough

lay me down for all my soul to keep
keep away all the monsters in my dreams
it'd help if you hold me
read me something so I can go to sleep
I fear that I have got no soul to take
but I doubt it'll stop me
hush little baby, go to sleep
