Apathy’s lullaby

CC BY-SA
Can't cry Won't cry Head held high Don't try That's my lullaby That's what I live by Till I die I deny That you try To get under my skin You won't win You drown in your sin You and your kin Can't seem to pin That when you spin Up your lies You cut ties Although you try Not to cry This is your demise
