"Lullaby" by Priscilla Ahn

Here's a lullaby,
for anyone who ___________________________(1) to fly,
from their hometown where people drown,
and where the townies  ___________________________(2) .

This old library,
has thirty books and one dictionary.
But that's ok, no one ___________________________(3) anyway,
we all ___________________________(4)  TV.

So here's your lullaby.
No boy, don't ___________________________(5) .
Just rest your head and ___________________________(6) to bed,
your time will come to ___________________________(7) …
…away.

Never today,
just ___________________________(8) your life away.
Sleep

All the dogs will die.
They just can't seem to ___________________________(9) alive.
Cause in this town, our cop ___________________________(10) them down.
And we just let him go and sigh.

Please god, please.
What's ___________________________(11) to our dreams?
We're ___________________________(12) hope, so we invest in dope
to ___________________________(13) our vacant feelings

So here's your lullaby.
no girl, don't ___________________________(14) .
Just rest your head and ___________________________(15) to bed,
your time will come to ___________________________(16) …
…away.
