The final song on Mary Lambert’s debut EP ‘Letters Don’t Talk’.
It was recorded in memory of her friend that died of leukemia. It was recorded live without any edits and in the dark. Mary described recording this song as “A beautiful moment for all of us”.
Don't touch me I'm sleeping
Got a bag of bones I've been keeping
Why you, why you sick?
Your hands are like a war memorial
Your hands are like a war memorial
Why are you sick?
We shaved your head cause your hair was falling out
We shaved your head cause your hair was falling out
Why are you sick all the time?
The sounds of the machine are the most comforting thing
Knowing your alive
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Lord, lord
You took my baby, my baby
Got an empty house with two bathtubs I want to drown in them
Lord, lord you took my baby
Got an empty house with two bathtubs I want to drown in them
