Lyrics
Not a single soul can see
Feeling unseen by others
The sorrow behind my smile, the reason behind my silence
Concealing sorrow and silence behind a smile
Not a single soul can see
Continuing the theme of feeling unnoticed
The depth of my pain, the depth of my torment
Expressing deep emotional pain and torment
Hush now
Call for silence
One-sided assumptions
False assumptions made by others
Hush now
Reiteration of the call for silence
Invisible, I wander around
Existing but unnoticed, wandering invisibly
Hush now
Repeat call for silence
Tread a path of loneliness
Walking a path of loneliness
Hush now
Continued call for silence
To come home to myself
Finding solace and self-discovery in solitude
Drifting down in the pit
Sinking into despair
I sing myself the lullaby for the forsaken
Singing a lullaby to comfort oneself in abandonment
Questioning my sanity
Questioning one's own sanity in isolation
I sing myself the lullaby for the forsaken
Repeating the lullaby for self-soothing
Understanding denied
Recognition that understanding is withheld
The loyalty I need lies only within me
Self-reliance for the needed loyalty
Expectations are resentments in waiting
Expectations leading to potential disappointments
On my own shoulders, I weep myself to sleep
Bearing the weight of burdens alone
Hush now
Call for silence reiteration
One-sided assumptions
Highlighting one-sided assumptions
Hush now
Repeating the call for silence
Invisible, I wander around
Continued existence without being noticed
Hush now
Emphasizing the path of loneliness
Tread a path of loneliness
Continued call for silence
Hush now
Finding solace and self-discovery in solitude
To come home to myself
Reiteration of the desire to come home to oneself
Drifting down in the pit
Sinking into despair once again
I sing myself the lullaby for the forsaken
Repeating the lullaby for self-comfort
Questioning my sanity
Questioning one's own sanity persistently
I sing myself the lullaby for the forsaken
Repeating the lullaby for self-soothing
They can hear me but they can't read me
Being heard but not truly understood by others
Cause only I bare the weight of my grief
Bearing the weight of personal grief alone
So I give myself the compassion I seek
Providing self-compassion in the absence of external support
Neglected, I'll soothe myself to sleep
Soothing oneself to sleep due to neglect
The Lullaby for the Forsaken
Emphasizing the lullaby as a comfort for the abandoned
The Lullaby for the Forsaken
Repeating the significance of the lullaby for the forsaken
