Lithium Lullaby

Verse 1

Close your eyes, the night is long

The wind is heavy, the stars are strong

I lay my head where I used to fight

And let the quiet carry me tonight

Verse 2

A little pill, a little rest

Keeps the storm from stealing my chest

I don’t feel fire, I don’t feel bright

Just steady, even through the night

Chorus

Lithium lullaby, hold me near

Soft and steady, calm my fear

I don’t have to burn to survive

I am safe, I am alive

Lithium lullaby, sing me true

I’m stable, though I feel flat too

The night is long, the sky is still

But I can breathe, I can will

Verse 3

Hands that shook now find their place

Heart that raced slows its pace

I whisper thanks for this quiet hand

For a mind that can finally stand

Pre-Chorus

Not perfect, not bright, not bold

Just steady in the hold

Chorus

Lithium lullaby, hold me near

Soft and steady, calm my fear

I don’t have to burn to survive

I am safe, I am alive

Lithium lullaby, sing me true

I’m stable, though I feel flat too

The night is long, the sky is still

But I can breathe, I can will

Bridge

Every shadow, every tear

Finds its place, I do not fear

Rest is not surrender, rest is power

I am held in this quiet hour

Final Chorus

Lithium lullaby, hold me near

Soft and steady, calm my fear

I don’t have to shine, I don’t have to fight

I am here, I am alright

Lithium lullaby, sing me true

I’m stable, though I feel flat too

I am held, I am free

And I am simply me
