I lie awake some nights I try to achieve some form of stillness I listen so hard I swear I can hear the earth breathing I wait for any answers I wait for any sign of hope I wait for some distant echo from a past or future self What I hear is the wind at my window What I hear is a great big nothing What I hear is my own voice whispering something like a prayer It’s okay You’re okay You can sleep.

Great Big Nothing
I lie awake some nights I try to achieve some form of stillness I listen so hard I swear I can hear the earth breathing I wait for any answers I wait for any sign of hope I wait for some distant echo from a past or future self What I hear is the wind at my window What I hear is a great big nothing What I hear is my own voice whispering something like a prayer It’s okay You’re okay You can sleep.
