Cradle Calls Lyrics

Course Of Empire Cradle Calls

Whispered:
When floors creak
As I explode
Unable to sleep
With the weight of a load
My brother sleeps in his bed, alone
I hear my mother hack and groan
From her room off the hall
I fear that she has built a home
From the room off the hall
'Neath my eyes the cradle calls
Time to be the one I am
But if I sleep and I come undone
Then throw my life into the sun

Spoken:
When floors creak
As I explode
Unable to sleep
With the weight of a load
My brother sleeps in his bed, alone
I hear my mother hack and groan
From the room off the hall
I fear that she has built a home
From the room off the hall

Beneath my eyes the cradle calls
Time to be the one I am
But if I sleep, I come undone
Throw my life into the sun
Beneath my eyes the cradle calls
Time to be the one I am
But if I sleep, I come undone
Throw my life into the sun
