Everything That Helps You Sleep

Julien Baker

    What is it like to be empty?
    Full of only echoes
    And my body caving in
    A cathedral of arching ribs
    Heaving out their broken hymns

    Thought I made out your reply
    In the seconds between sound and light
    And I could have sworn the sirens
    Were the holy ghost just speaking in morse code

    Lord, Lord, Lord, is there some way to make it stop
    'Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off
    And everything supposed to help me sleep at night
    Don't help me sleep at night, anymore

    Continues after the ad

    From a distance, light from stars
    Entry wounds or puncture marks
    Leaking from your arms
    Through the perforated dark

    'Cause Lord, Lord, Lord, is there some way to make it stop
    'Cause nothing that I do has ever helped to turn it off
    And everything supposed to help me sleep at night
    Don't help me sleep at night, anymore

    So could you hear from heaven on earth
    If I scream a little louder
    I know you would have heard
    Say there's no way I could be further
    If I scream a little louder I know you would have heard it
