"Everything To Help You Sleep" lyrics
"Everything To Help You Sleep"
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
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
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

I tried to see why it wasn't...

Intended it as a cautionary tale
You said you saw yourself inside there

Phoebe Bridgers - "Killer + The Sound" Sometimes I think I'm a killer
Scared you in your house
Even scared myself by talking
About Dahmer on your couch
But I can't sleep next to a body
Even harmless in death
Plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss...
Pinegrove - "Skylight" I move through shadow
I go they go wherever
Don't they come in
Whenever I let em
I climb through the skylight
Whatever you're feeling is all right
Let you let go
Whatever you're feeling is natural...
Big Thief - "UFOF" To my UFO friend
Goodbye, goodbye
Like a seed in the wind
She's taking up root in the sky
See her flickering
Her system won't even try
To defend and ripen
In the radio action
She'll never return...
