• Hush, My Darling

    Hush, my darling, don't you cry
    You know by now resistance is futile.
    So now I sit and contemplate
    The final result of your fate.

    Hush, my darling, don't you grieve
    You know the voices that I receive.
    Some say to love you with all my heart
    Some say to eradicate you on the spot.

    Please stop struggling, stop it, I say!
    Now ecstasy has fled, replaced with dismay.
    Hush, my darling, just let me love you!
    I wish you knew what I said is true.

    Now I am left with no choice
    But to listen to my mind's noise.
    With knife in one hand, the other on your neck
    Soon you appear to fall asleep.

    But wake up, you did not
    Oh how I have besot!
    You know the voices that I receive
    How I hate them, how I grieve.

    So now I sit and contemplate,
    My desire for you, it didn't abate.
    With knife held ever so high
    Swiftly I brought it down unto my heart
    Now Death, for me, is nigh.
