Close your eyes, my darling one, A perfect life has just begun. The world outside can wait for you, First, there’s work you have to do. Let this be your first lesson, dear, You must learn to conquer fear. For love can leave you in the cold, A story that is new and old. So don't you dream of little things, Of silver bells and diamond rings. You'll dream of walls you have to build, A space that has to be fulfilled. A fortress heart, a flawless plan, You'll be a self-sufficient man. And I'll be there to watch you grow, And reap the bitter seeds I sow. So sleep now, Ethan, sleep and be, The one who won't be hurt like me. This is my love, my one decree, You must survive... for you, and me.
