The Things That Help You Sleep at Night - The Murderburgers

When I die

It will suffice if I’m surrounded by cardboard cutouts

That look vaguely like the people that I love

You don’t have to

Drop by to drop yours off if it’s too much hassle

Just throw it on the fire and let it burn

Do the same with mine when it’s your turn

Because all the things that help you sleep at night

Are all the things that are keeping me awake

And keeping me wondering

What was the point in putting up a fight

All those nights that you were keeping me at bay

For better or worse I’m always on the other side of town

None of my signs seem all that vital anymore

Which is a sure-fire sign that I need to find a pulse again somehow

At least now I remember Christmas Eve to keep me sober

And I’ll try to remember you when I rewire my mind

In an attempt to find

New ways to be alone

New ways to be alone

New ways to be alone

New ways to be alone

New ways to be alone

I’ll try to use these new ways to be alone

To understand

That all the things that help you sleep at night

Are valid reasons why I should stay away

And although the thought of checking out slows the world down right now

It won’t all be skin grafts and plane crashes someday
