lyrics

glass shattered over a cracked out street
a mama holding on to her baby and weeps,
abandoned road
last of the strong-hold, cornered and lost
the last night she'll be running in this plastic box

and she does her best not to make a sound
but the door breaks down

sleep, sleep my baby
we must be found
and i’ll watch the final sunrise
as we're taken down
sleep my baby
they're coming now

up the stairs, inventing layers
another door breaks, it's too late
running scared
baby put your head down, lie on the ground
i was never your mother, the monsters pound
no hope left

and they see her mind breakdown
they're surrounded now

sleep, sleep my baby
now shut your eyes
as this light reflects the images of a previous life
sleep my baby
they're coming now
