Baby Rock Me

Shadowed words of warning, too foreign to understand
Echo down the deepest well, “Won’t you hear me as I am?”
My eyes well-up at the silence, faltered dreams and rain
Toss and turn in the violence, I call out in pain

Baby rock me, all night long

Running down to the basement, veins are full of flames
Hiding from the Devil’s words that call me by name
And I always loved the garden and the power to be saved
I never thought these hands of mine would dig my own grave

So baby rock me, all night long

The fall through the trees is endless, it seems
And I call to the sky to apologize
For this love has passed me by

Now I sit in an empty room, a broken man at best
If she could love me inspite of this, I think that I could rest
But I messed it up, haven’t I? I messed it up again
And I don’t think that I’ll make it out of this, and if I do I’ll be damned

So baby rock me
