about

"Lullaby is a sincere and beautiful love song. For me, it is also the scariest song on the album because it exposes a lot of the fear and insecurities that come with being in a committed relationship. As frightening as the concept of isolation is, opening up to another human being fully and completely can be just as frightening. This song always gives me chills."

-Danny

“I wish I could creep into your mind and sing you one true lullaby.”
“Create the Future with your own decisions”
“I will stand in shallow water because I’m afraid to go too deep”
“I will take your hand and hold you close to hope and I will take your hand and hold you close to me”

-Michael

lyrics

Take your time
but do it now
Lock yourself in a darkroom
where the evidence can resound
If you feel the most lonely
when you're among your own
It's time to peer at the problems exposed
when you develop your doubts

Sketch yourself
Draw a face with no eyes
You call for my name
but you should listen to your own advice
That writing songs is easy
Unless you avoid all lies, so
I wish I could creep into your mind
and sing you one true lullaby

Sing that...
Fear will take your hand
and guide you far from here
but I will stand and hold
to the hope that we feel

Videos and magazines
make everything look easy
Videos and magazines
make true feelings seem trite and rusty
Burn the words and pictures
Burn away the lies
Life's not a game of cards or dice
Create the future with your own decisions

Fear will take your hand
and guide you far from here
I will stand in shallow water
Because I'm afraid to go too deep

I will take your hand
and hold you close to here, and

I will take your hand
and hold you close to hope, and

I will take your hand
and hold you close to me

And I will take your hand...
I will take your hand
