Now Just Wait


Hush-a-bye baby

don't you cry

Mama's got a blade

just for you

If life get to hard for you 

Just cut and bleed

it's fine you know.

It might get better

but we don't know.

Take the blade

and push down deep

You'll forget about the pain I'm sure

As you watch the blood falling.

Hush-a-bye baby I'll show you how

to take a life

I know how

Mama's know what to do

I'll show you how

Just take the blade 

and push down deep. 

Now just wait

for it all to end.
