Settle down
I’m on your side
Rest your worry
Rest your mind
Hollowed out,
Preoccupied
A conversation With no reply
If I could Bring you back around Then I would
You’re trailing off again Zoning out & in
You had a bad reaction I know it
You got that look in your eye
The airwaves are shaky
Another place & time Lost in a day dream
That’s living in your mind
So wake up Wake up

I hate it That feeling, unbearable pressure Every time I’m around you I get it So uneasy, I’m checking the weather 'Cause it matches your mood After all this time, your actions are valid It's a chemical imbalance I’d spend all my wages Fixing your brain, Rewire the ailment Some things change for the bad Sometimes things just stay sad But everybody loves a comeback Everybody wants you to come back You’re screaming From the back of the room at your TV Slammed the door that you came through I wonder What it’s like in your mind, if you notice All these songs are about you All the silence, you want a reaction A fatal attraction I’d spend all my days in Wait out the rain Cushion the pavement Some things change for the bad Sometimes things just stay sad But everybody loves a comeback Everybody wants you to come back It’s always raining Even in California But you can’t explain it You got a cloud above ya The walls are shaking I feel it all around us You can’t escape it You got a chain around ya But everybody loves a comeback Everybody wants you to come back

Does that feeling ever haunt you In the shadows of where you lie When silence surrounds you Do you covet another life All we can do is sleep it off All we can do is sleep The world's got our minds racing It’s so simple to miss the light And when vibrance surrounds you To see the color in black and white All we can do is sleep it off All we can do is sleep All we can do is sleep it off It’s all we can do It's all we can do When you criticize I listen It’s best to chalk it up to malice 'Cause when evil surrounds me I find it easier to vanish Oooo All we can do is sleep it off All we can do is sleep All we can do is sleep it off It’s all we can do It's all we can do Quiet our heads And restart But I can’t sleep enough To sleep it off It’s all we can, it’s all we can do

I had a dream a wave was coming in Now it covers the sidewalks Heard it live on the news from the weatherman Swallowed up by the sea salt And you’ve got a lot of nerve Showing up unannounced like that Holding hands with my brother in the audience Making plans you’re not keeping I’m digging a moat around the ceiling Gonna save everyone that I love Floating around and around To find that I’ve Drown I know you mean well you wouldn’t understand You gotta watch what you’re saying He got himself a loan for the credit card Booking 5 star vacations I feel a chill the wind is picking up Like a sting from a toothache The chances are high we won’t get out alive We’re all prepping for doomsday I get a terrible feeling Watching water rise from way up above Floating around And around To find that I’ve Drown Find that I’ve Drown Finally I’ve Drown There’s a train that keeps passing me by A lost interaction with you There's a pain that keeps passing me by A pause on a memory of you There’s a train that keeps passing me by The last single image of you There's a pain that won’t open it’s eyes The last single image of you

How do you do it? How do you lose yourself in every word? Changing opinions like you’re changing a shirt You had a vision but your eyes were blurred Where are you going? You don’t have anyone, no open door They took your confidence with every chord Left it bleeding on their lobby floor 'Cause everybody’s cooler than you You have no clue what you got ahead of you Waiting on your people to show, But you got a long long way to go Oo Carbon Copy Oo Shoulders are heavy You carry all your disappoints there Then erase it like computer software Just another round of solitaire Why don’t you give it up? How 'bout an online university All your friends already got their degree You’re playing covers at a sweet 16 And everybody’s cooler than you You have no clue what you got ahead of you Waiting on your people to show, But you got a long long way to go Just a carbon copy

I was in the garden Thinking of the time when The walls were different colors Writing on the frame Things are always changing I’m still scared of the basement My rooms all renovated The dog is going grey And daylight You slip into darkness Too often I woke in a body that wasn’t mine Can someone Build me a rocket One that rewinds And can withstand the test of time So I can be a kid again If not for good just for a minute I’d tell my mother’s mom hello And that I feel her when I play piano Family is in the kitchen The holidays are different I used to fill my pockets with quarters from the couch People always hurting We lost a cousin early The past is like an old pal I hardly recognize at all Daylight You slip into darkness Too often I woke in a body that wasn’t mine Can someone Build me a rocket One that rewinds And can withstand the test of time So I can be a kid again If not for good just for a minute I’d warn my brother the world gets cold And to call me when he feels alone

Wasting away Tracing the sun with my hands In the dust it illuminates What a lovely world My oldest cousin moved away Said she learned a new language Slept until noon again Dodging calls from my friends I got nothing to talk about Everyday is like a funeral Buried boxes of old ideas I wanted but I never tried I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing it this time I'm cracking up & I'm crumbling inside Everything’s fine everything is just fine Just the other day I had a dream I could see through the walls of a Circle K I’m trying to reel it in What was that that you said I am here, but I’m so far away I think I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing it this time I'm cracking up and I'm crumbling inside Everything's fine everything is just fine If I never make it back I’ll leave a card on the table Saying thanks for the times that we had I know I’m losing my mind I’m losing it this time Everything’s fine everything is just fine Fine fine fine

Such a pity our minds are made up And our bodies over criticized I got sick in Detroit Missed the show I was never gonna tell you why What a loose cannon I could hear them talk and over react The paramedics were angry I was convinced it was a heart attack And now the quiet is overwhelming I lay awake at night drowning it out I wanna sleep inside your eye lids Watch you dream without leaving the ground I’ll stay down Stay down We could live in a hole under the carpet Way down Stay down Stop everything that we started It’s all poisonous & riddled with splinters I’m sick of tripping on the rug all the Way down Stay down Stay What a shame, we’re all on a display Empty promises & rhetoric I traveled over the moon for a chance and they canceled for the hell of It You were cursing the system A bunch of undercover criminals They flew away on a jet plane Left your spirit at the terminal And now the quiet is overwhelming I lay awake at night drowning it out I wanna sleep inside your eyelids Watch you dream without leaving the ground I’ll stay down Stay down Lets bury ourselves under the garden Way down Stay down Forget everything that we started It’s anonymous a prison of sinners Sick of tripping in the mud all the Way down Stay down Stay I’ll stay down Stay down Let's find a new life another planet Way down Stay down Say goodbye to the way that we had It’s so obvious the world's almost over I’m sick of missing all the fun On my way down Stay down Stay

My nautical light You burn through the sea 'Till the water got thick Took the breath out of me August was awful Hospital rooms You were pale as a ghost Built a rocket ship out of old cartons of milk You’d go on and on and on What if we’re astronauts walkin' the moon Racing the clock ticking all over you Now what am I to do It’s so cold up here Did you take my gloves My fingers are numb The feelings all gone My kaleidoscope You color the sky When the light is low You take me so high Since November though Nothing seems right When the doctor came in The nurses all cried As I lost my mind He went on and on and on But we were like astronauts Walking the moon Racing the clock ticking all over you Now what am I to do It’s so cold up here Did you take my gloves with you My fingers are blue And I’m missing you too

Slow motion My head in my hands I couldn’t sleep in the back of the van I was in Kansas You were with your band On stage before I could check in Take me away back to Burbank 'Cause we’re breaking just to make a living Stolen identity You said you don’t think your heart is in it Like it used to be Take me away back to Burbank Take me away Hands frozen Loading gear in the car Several blocks away illegally parked Your flight is delayed So you wait at the bar I’m always a thousand miles from wherever you are Take me away back to Burbank 'Cause we’re breaking just to make a living Stolen identity You said you don’t think your heart is in it Like it used to be When we were younger we met on a television screen Let’s get a hotel room back where it started & dream until we fall Asleep 'Cause we’re breaking just to make a living Stolen identity You said you don’t think your heart is in it Like it used to be Take me away back to Burbank Take me away

I'm hardly getting out the words to you I'm feeling so old & new You say what do you mean I'm passing the age of my mother When she met my father Don’t you think it’s strange? You open the doorway And let the wind Bring you back After circling the highway I see your face in every artifact All the Hundreds of miles And laps around the sun I just think I love what we’ve become I’m sorry I know I’m confusing I’m so scared of losing Do you know what I mean? You open the doorway And let the wind Bring you back After circling the highway I see your face in every artifact All the Hundreds of miles And laps around the sun I just think I love what we’ve become

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.

You know that feeling you get when you’ve lost something you didn’t know you lost but you know you are looking for ? And know with even further affirmation it was lost and you were in deed looking because you finally recognize it when you found it ? Every time I see the word “COPE” I think of how there’s no irony that I think of this voice, lyrics and music that helped me do just that. It’s so many heavenly things. Please let this be the voice I hear on my final journey to meet my ma
