Everything To Help You Sleep
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 3]
From a distance, light from stars
Entry wounds or puncture marks
Leaking from your arms
Through the perforated dark
[Chorus]
'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
[Outro]
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
