The first breath hurts
As if it were the last
And the future that I missed
Is lost in the past
You were the hand of god
At least that was your claim
All the lies soaked right through
I guess I am the one to blame
You found progress in my shame
And left me wanting more
I can't forget the pain
I've felt so much before
Although I'm new to this
I'm feeling aged and worn
A child lost to apathy
And born to the unknown
I'm feeling fake inside these walls
But real enough for you
My test tube mind and carbon heart
Falls apart it's true
This human form I think is mine
Will prove dead - dead in time
I'll fade away just like you and then
But what is left inside this mind
Hush now baby it's time to go to sleep
They know what's best for you
Hush now baby it's time to go to sleep
Let them replace the loving womb
You were the hand of god
At least that was your claim
All the lies soaked right through
I guess I am the one to blame
This human form I think is mine
Will prove dead - dead in time
I'll fade away - just like you
Then what is left inside this mind
Hush now baby it's time to go to sleep
They know what's best for you
Hush now baby it's time to go to sleep
Let them replace the loving womb
Hush now baby it's time to go to sleep
They know what's best for you
