MOMMY DEAREST

Hold me close the weather is cold
The fire died so long ago
Mama, at least you're here with me
And quiet the voices below

Is there a world there at all?
Together we can both fall

Lay me down to sleep and tell me good night
And protect me from all the ghosts and wights
We're in this together
And trapped in this fever
Blurring all the lines between wrong and right - WRONG AND RIGHT

Down at our cabin in the woods
Closet of skeletons, feral
Marked with the madness that they claim
Winter kingdom, sing me carols

Is there a world there at all?
Together we can both fall

Lay me down to sleep and tell me good night
And protect me from all the ghosts and wights
We're in this together
And trapped in this fever
Blurring all the lines between wrong and right - WRONG AND RIGHT

The dirt is deep
They won't scrub me clean
The night is deep
Shadows at the murder scene

SHADOWS AT THE MURDER SCENE

together we both can fall

Lay me down to sleep and tell me good night
And protect me from all the ghosts and wights
We're in this together
And trapped in this fever
Blurring all the lines between wrong and right
