Parental Echoes

Crib softest glow lullaby play
Diapers and bottles night an day is the first law to obey
I'm dreaming freedom, quiet hum
Rum's out of reach and I am feeling like I'm six feet under
More sleepless nights
Rum stays on the shelve far from sight
Toys on the floor
Dreaming bedtime always more
Some cradle rocks a pale moonlight
I'm yearning rum a distant chime, baby's awake it's bottle time
Warming it faster than i can
Spilling milk out now I must do all the procedure again
Milk stained shirt
Is the mark of my disaster
Look over there
Rum is still upon that shelve
Rum before bedtime dream we chase
Parental maze familiar space, a single sip in my dreams
I'll never reach that bottle cheer
Parental echoes are the only sounds i'm hearing right now
The midnight feedings tired grins
The baby's dreamland stuck within, a wave of jelousy hits
Rum's elusive some fleeting dreams
Nursery silence not it seems but just a small illusion
And when night fades
Dream persists and nothing happens
Nursery tales
Singing another refrain
Rum before bedtime dream we chase
Parental maze familiar space, a single sip in my dreams
I'll never reach that bottle cheer
Parental echoes are the only sounds i'm hearing right now
