I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go
Do you remember? May 7th. The day Leora summoned the Titanoboa. The day we lost our hope.
When all those shadows almost killed your light
You looked more broken than you'd ever seemed before. I really thought you were immune to these things, you know. The one person who would never crack.
I remember you said don't leave me here alone
In the infirmary. That's where you begged me to stay. Where you first started crying. I'd never seen you cry, Jay. It scared me. That's when I knew, I guess.
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
I never told you, did I?

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You stopped crying after a few minutes. Didn't say anything for a moment.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
I know you'll be safe now. Safe from Leora. Safe from this stupid, stupid world.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
Wait for me... I'll be along soon enough.

Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire
When you finally said something, it was only, "The sky looks like it's on fire."
The war outside our door keeps raging on
I agreed. You asked me, "Why is it on fire? Is this what the rest of our lives will be like?"
Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone, gone
It was still on fire when you closed your eyes.
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
It's not burning anymore. Now it looks like a calm, peaceful lake.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
You've been safe for awhile, but I know you. You'd be excited to know we're probably safe too. Probably.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
At least, I am. Everyone else is gone.
Just close your eyes, you'll be alright
I left you a rose. Right in front of your headstone. You always did love roses.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
I love you.
