no saints in my sleep

[INTRO | low tape hiss, distant thunder] Yeah… Nights don’t feel quiet anymore [VERSE 1 | smoother cadence, tighter rhyme] Fall asleep with the TV glow Blue light fillin’ up the room Half-drunk glass beside my bed Same dark thoughts I can’t outmove Wake up somewhere around 4 Heartbeat bangin’ through my chest Room still cold, but something feels Wrong in ways I can’t express Hear my name inside the static Like the silence learned to speak Ever since you disappeared Ain’t been much inside of me [CHORUS | catchier rhyme + flow] No saints in my sleep Only shadows over me Every night gets harder to leave No saints in my sleep Cold sweat tangled in the sheets Every prayer sink too deep Heaven still too far from me No saints in my sleep [VERSE 2 | more rhythmic + singable] Streetlights bleed across the rain Miss my exit, drive too far Cross swingin’ from the mirror Like it know just who you are Mom said “you look tired lately” I just laughed and looked away Truth is I don’t really sleep I just fade out for a day Every mirror look unfamiliar Like somebody wearin’ my skin Try to wash my hands clean now Still feel dirt underneath ‘em [CHORUS | fuller instrumentation] No saints in my sleep Only shadows over me Every night gets harder to leave No saints in my sleep Cold sweat tangled in the sheets Every prayer sink too deep Heaven still too far from me No saints in my sleep [BRIDGE | stripped, rolling naturally] Maybe guilt don’t disappear… Maybe it just learns where you live [FINAL REFRAIN | hypnotic repetition] 4AM again Same bad dream again No peace underneath No saints in my sleep [OUTRO | fading ambience] Yeah… Think I’m scared to close my eyes now
