Apathy’s lullaby
CC BY-SACan'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
