Julien Baker – Guthrie Lyrics

Guthrie Lyrics by Julien Baker

I only say what I really mean
When I start talking to you in my sleep
Oh, I can be honest when I think it’s a dream
I can make promises sober I’ll never keep

And you can believe me as long as you want
There’s nothing inside of here but blood and guts

I hit the bottom
Start pulling up floor boards
Whatever I get
Always need just a little bit more

So I’m catching a ride now
To get on the first flight
You told me it scares you
The way that I was tonight

Oh, I miss when I was certain
About every little thing
Was so scared of forgetting
That I put it down in ink

Used to call upon the spirit
Now I think heaven lets it ring
I wanted so bad to be good
But there’s no such thing
