In ‘RIP’ 8 Graves write about anxiety during nights.
This song is about those thoughts and feelings that keep us awake at night. It’s about how the silence and dark of night can become a playground for our inner demons. Sleepless nights filled with anxiety about past decisions are common for me.

[Verse 1]
I can taste the fear
Like it's wrapped around my tongue
It's too much to hear
All the damage that I've done, oh-oh
All the noise is killing me, how am I supposed to sleep
When a voice is screaming in my head?
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day is a tragedy, I don't wanna be this way
I hope it's quiet when I'm dead
[Chorus]
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep I can rest in peace
[Verse 2]
I can touch the pain
Like the sand's inside my hand
There's so much to say
But no one would understand (Oh)
I can barely tell what's real, how am I supposed to feel
When my heart is shattered in my chest?
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day is a tragedy, I don't wanna be this way
I just wanna finally lay to rest
[Chorus]
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep
[Bridge]
Tell me where I'm safe, am I better in a grave?
I don't bother, I'm a waste of health
I can run away, but trying as I may
I'm not gonna escape myself
[Chorus]
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh)
When I fall to pieces in my sleep
[Outro]
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I can rest in peace (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I can rest in peace
