Lemur Voice

When the cradle cries

Lemur Voice


I see the baby's eyes, my scary eyes 
His eyeballs twist faster than his brain can follow 
REM while he's awake 
What his eyes can't catch his soul inhales 
Unable to release his karma 
But at least he's still alive 

He thinks he's being tucked in 
But each tap on his head is a nail to his coffin 

More than ever, I'm afraid to see 
Through his eyes of stone 
Pulling the veil off my morning mirror 
Slowly the recognition basks inside of me 
'Cause it's hard to resist when the cradle cries 

Apathy is my only possible defense 
No emotions to be judged 
I just can't handle them 
My head leads the dance of the numbers 
I can't possibly not deny myself 
But at least I'm still alive 

He knows he's being tucked in 
But each tap on his head I'm afraid to hurt him 

More than ever, I can see 
Through his watery eyes 
Wiping the dew off my morning mirror 
Slowly the recognition basks inside of me 
'Cause it's hard to resist when the cradle cries
