Lullaby, lullaby,
sing me to sleep this night.
How will I get there alone?
Lullaby, stay there as
I shut my eyes.
I know they'll lead me away if you don't.
Softly they sing.
Through silence, they ring.
Painting pictures as bright as the day.
Whispering words
that can only be heard
while the waking world's melting away.
Fairytale, fairytale,
whisk me away
to the glittering lights
where we dance in the rain.
Rabbit hole, rabbit hole,
lead me astray
'til the morning arrives
and I float back again.
Sing me to sleep.
Sing me to sleep...
Softly they sing.
Through silence, they ring.
Painting pictures as bright as the day.
Whispering words
that can only be heard
while the waking world's melting away.
Softly they sing.
Through silence, they ring.
Painting pictures as bright as the day.
Whispering words
that can only be heard
while the waking world's melting away.

I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
