Lost in Lullabies - Lyric Video

Hush hush, don’t shed a tear
No need at all to fear
If the monsters leave a mark
‘Cause they took that light in you
That brought the shadows into view
And gently snuffed out the spark

Now demons bought and paid
With the honest living that you made
Serenade you with their spells

While angels sent to you
To wake you with the light of truth
Have been locked up in padded cells

And they gave you proms and homecomings, Super Bowls and championship rings
Starlets walking red carpets, isn’t this Americana a beautiful thing?
But I wouldn’t know ‘cause I spent two years just trying to pry open your eyes
And while I was busy finding the truth you were lost in lullabies

They told you “use your voice”
As though you really have a choice
But you’re not sure which color’s best

Cause purple, red, and blue
Are all the same historic hues
That decorate their family crest

From your very first breath
Until that moment of your death
They plan how your story will end (how your story will end)

And one thing I can tell
If you don’t break out of this hell
You’ll do it all over again

But they gave you rhythm and blues, jazz, and country
Rocking and rollin' across six steel strings
Mesmerized by the music, isn’t this Americana a beautiful thing?
But I wouldn’t know ‘cause I spent two years just trying to pry open your eyes (pry open your eyes)
And while I was busy finding the truth you were lost in lullabies

You say you miss the way the glory days made you feel
But was any of it real?

Skyscraper heights and Times Square lights, Golden Gate and Lady Liberty
You choose not to see what’s lurking there beneath this Americana, it’s terrifying (what's lying there beneath)
But despite all their tactics I’m never distracted by all their gorgeous lies (gorgeous lies)
And while I am busy exposing the truth you are still lost in lullabies

Hush hush, don’t shed a tear
No need at all to fear
