[Verse 1 female] Been all on my own, so I don't go out much I've been smoking way too much, ain't been eating enough Feel like I'm losing my grip, yeah, I'm losing my touch And I've been running out of people that I trust But myself, that's how I'm moving now Never ask for help, so don't come around Say I'll never break, but I'm freaking out 'Cause I can't find myself and I've been searching the house [Chorus female] I sing you lullabies, but they sound like screams My love's a poison wrapped in pretty things I didn't mean to hurt you, that was never the plan But everything I touch turns to blood on my hands Lullaby, lullaby, wasn't supposed to make you cry I'm a storm disguised as shelter, wasn't supposed to make you die inside Lullaby, lullaby, every word's a pretty lie My love's a blade that's wrapped in velvet, wasn't supposed to make you cry **[Machine Shop – Verse male]** I been pacing in my head like the floor plan’s wrong Every room got echoes of a past I’m from I don’t cry for help, I just tighten the screws Turn pressure into fuel, that’s how I move Got a mouth full of truth, but I swallow it whole ‘Cause the minute I speak, I lose control I don’t ghost people, I fade out slow So they don’t feel the weight when I finally go I learned early love comes with conditions So I write my pain down, call it a mission They say “open up,” but they don’t stay near When the silence gets loud and the flaws appear I’m a shelter that leaks when the storms get loud Say I’ll keep you safe, but I’m drowning now Every good intention got twisted by fear I don’t push you away, I just disappear I’m the calm in the chaos, the crack in the frame Built tough on the surface, rusted inside the chain I don’t wear my scars, but they talk when I breathe Every line that I write’s what I can’t say to me I don’t trust easy, yeah, that’s my disease Seen too many hands turn into receipts If I love too hard, I start losing myself So I lock it all up, put the key on the shelf I ain’t heartless, I’m cautious with scars on repeat Trying not to bleed on whoever I meet I sing hope with a tremor, strength with a shake I don’t mean to hurt you, that’s just the shape Of a man built quiet, surviving the noise Learning how to live without breaking his voice [Chorus female] I sing you lullabies, but they cut too deep My love's a nightmare when you're trying to sleep I swear I meant well, I swear I had good intent But my affection's a weapon and you're covered in dents Lullaby, lullaby, wasn't supposed to make you cry I'm a storm disguised as shelter, wasn't supposed to make you die inside Lullaby, lullaby, every word's a pretty lie My love's a blade that's wrapped in velvet, wasn't supposed to make you cry [Bridge] I'm not supposed to be this way I'm supposed to make the pain okay But every song I write's a funeral And every kiss I give decay Been searching for myself in all the wrong places Can't recognize the girl behind these wasted faces I'm by myself 'cause that's the safest option When your love's a lullaby that sounds like coffins So walk with me through valleys that I can't escape I'll show you all the demons that I've learned to embrace The world's a frozen wasteland and I'm just trying to survive But I keep singing lullabies that make the living wanna die [Chorus female] Lullaby, lullaby, wasn't supposed to make you cry I'm a storm disguised as shelter, wasn't supposed to make you die inside Lullaby, lullaby, every word's a pretty lie My love's a blade that's wrapped in velvet, wasn't supposed to make you cry [Outro] (Lullaby, lullaby) (
