Days and days, years and years I was waiting, I was waiting And your voice from somewhere above Always with me [Verse 1] Once upon a time, a blue lightning night Lost myself, a demon swallowed my mind Years and years pass and go I forget when my heart got this cold Watching everything else move on And I don't remember what it was for Life never moves forward, it just gets old That cursed voice loops over and over I don't feel the pain, my eyes stay low [Pre-Chorus] But there's still one thing I know The only thing I know is... [Chorus] Playing this black lullaby With my unsteady guitar pulse And my wicked, broken hope When the nights get dark and cold To calm those lonely souls Playing this black lullaby With my unsteady guitar pulse And my wicked, broken hope Till you summon the free colors Free my mind Till you summon the free colors Free my mind My free mind And now I'm just playing this black lullaby This black lullaby for hope Until you hear me (until you hear me) Until you hear me (until you hear me) [Verse 2] When I close my eyes It's still there, it's still there I dive deeper and still see A thousand reflections of that same old night I can't hide, it'll find me My haunted heart's struggling, still beating That swan song can't be muted It's still singing, singing in my head Maybe someday it'll reach you [Pre-Chorus] Breathing in that ancient spell Can you pull the real me out? Who hasn't been young once? All these years, just wasted I'm still waiting for a turning point [Chorus] Playing this black lullaby With my unsteady guitar pulse And my wicked, broken hope When the nights get dark and cold To calm those lonely souls Till you summon the free colors Free my mind Till you summon the free colors Free my mind My free mind [Outro] Playing this black lullaby Playing this black lullaby Until you hear me Until you hear me Until you hear me (until you hear me) Until you hear me (until you hear me) Playing this black lullaby With my unsteady guitar pulse And my wicked, broken hope Playing this black lullaby Playing this black lullaby Until you hear me (until you hear me) Until you hear me (until you hear me) This black lullaby
