iren's lullaby / They say that grass is green
and lips are red, and that their colours fade when they are dead./That every tear you shed /is made of salt and water./And they say no other /truth is true. Believe me,/ nothing's ever as it seems,/this world is just a twisted dream./ Forget all things you've ever read./Colours do not fade when they are dead./Forget all things you've ever known./Look at me: a star that glows, /belladonna in my eyes, /a sparkling jewel in the night /– as I wait to hold you tight./Think of all my kisses blue,/purple blossoms all over you./Look at me if still you're there.  /(Look at me if you still dare.)/Come to me as once you did, /give me once again your lips. /Take away my pearls, my tears /before they tear apart my heart.
