"Hush Hush"
My little baby with the long black hair
I sing her a lullaby but she never sleeps
Night begins and moonlight falls across the floor
Our house is dark and soundless
And that mirror is empty
Oh god the things she'll show you
My mind has left me but I can't stop loving her
And he wants her to go away
He steals her from me; keeps her in the barn
Where she sits alone on her dusty chair
So far away from the world
Her carousel spinning, the melody haunting
And the horses they keep her awake
So she sends them out to the sea
And now he has taken her further away from me
My daughter is not allowed to see me
And they lock her up, make her explain
She tells them the truth but they don't believe,
That images can be made with the mind
My little girl has fallen so far from grace
But she's elegant in her own twisted way
I want to care for her but I am taken by madness
She pours her sickness into me
All the shadows of her heart, the darkness in her mind
She pulls me into her private nightmare world
And I know what I must do
Honey let's go for a walk
Your tiny song echoes your loneliness
As horses flee from the hills
Isn't it beautiful here?
But behind my back I hid my intentions
All I ever wanted was you
I cannot contain my illness
You fall to the bottom
And my hands shake as I seal the well
Darling stay low; dreamless in the dark water
And I will leave behind the earth as well
Drop silently into death's cradle
Whispers at my ear in a fading forest
Your fingers break as blinding lights swallow me
And an endless curse is born
