Julien Baker - Brittle Boned Lyrics






The low, electric glow – static snows in the lobby
Dull TV, magazines, waiting rooms can't hide me
From the sting, paper sheets, bloodwork and the IV
And the whirring machines while the nurses reassure me:
This will be quick and easy, I'm not gonna feel a thing
Lie and say it'll be alright, like a stray falling asleep
Cause I'm so good at hurting myself

Pulse is slow, faint metronome on my left side beneath my protruding spine
You can hardly hear at night
White flag, blindfold covering my sunken eyes
And a line of rifles aimed at my sick mind

Cause I'm so good at hurting myself

  1. d.... k....

    Seeing her play this live changed me. It was like a religious experience.

  2. C.... S....

    Julien is my queen

  3. I.... M....

    There re not singers boring like her

  4. f.... ....

    why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere before...

  5. d.... ....

    Pristine, beautiful, texture-filled
     guitar tones and lovely voice. Love it all :-)!

  6. U.... Y....

    julien has one of my favorite voices ever. she is so amazing.

  7. J.... M....

    I'm in love with her what a great performer.

  8. G.... ....

    ive got a gay guitar strap too

    G.... ....

    Fantastic. Now you only need a guitar. And the skills to play it. And the inspiration. And the angst that started it all. Piece of cake, really. Get busy.

  9. J.... D....

    This grounding issue is also in this one.

  10. T.... R....

    I have yet to hear one of your songs that were not either moving or purely inspirational. You are truly gifted. I wish you continued prosperity and happiness.

  11. J.... G....

    she needs someone to become her bf and shield her guitar

    J.... G....

    what is wrong with you ? first she's gay and she does what she want ..

  12. C.... H....

    Played this in the middle of an acid trip, i felt it in my very soul. This song is crazy beautiful. See you in Vienna, hopefully, if i can convince a friend to travel with me.

  13. G.... ....

    JB songs that get me EVERY time: Brittle Boned, Something, Funeral Pyre, Go Home, Claws in your back..

  14. S.... R....

    Here i hear, again, a serious explosions in the sky vibe. and i like that.

  15. R.... S....

    mt bom o brasil te ama

  16. b.... a....

    Just want to click the thumbup button since I know this'll be so beautiful and I don't want to fucking cry. She deserves to be more known. <3

  17. h.... d....

    life is strange

  18. J.... M....

    Like a younger David Bazan. This song is incredible.

  19. N.... B....

    I wrote a short film inspired by this song. So this song needs to be in it. Also I have those same shoes.

    N.... B....

    I'd like to see that

    N.... B....

    make the film and send it to her and she what her/her management say. some artists will let you use their music free/cheaply if it's not a commercial product. then post it to youtube so we can all see it

  20. f.... g....

    i'm love :)

  21. f.... g....

    ella es increible.. su musica me hace feliz :)

  22. S.... L....

    I love how no one dislike this. Every song on her record his emotional and powerful, but this one is the most.

    S.... L....

    Now you have 2 assholes who disliked it because they're either jealous or don't appreciate talent.

    S.... L....

    It's up to six people with no taste in music now.

    S.... L....

    7 thumb-downs out of over a thousand is a damn good approval rate.

  23. m.... ....

    I bet she has cool ass parents. Just a guess but I have a feeling I'm right.

    m.... ....

    Well when she came out to her super religious parents her dad spent a bunch of time finding passages in the bible that supported being gay to prove to her she wasn't going to hell. I think that qualifies as pretty fucking cool.

  24. E.... M....

    Lovely.

  25. T.... g....

    Fantastic.

  26. a.... m....

    Thanks to my friend Sean for making me aware of this wonderful singer/songwriter! :)

  27. J.... W....

    Man this has an Elliott Smith vibe. Can't place it, but it's there. Stoked to have this recommended to me!

    J.... W....

    Jimi W old comment i know, but she actually has a cover of ballad of big nothing which is really worth listening to

    J.... W....

    Yeah I heard that! That entire album has great ES covers.

  28. K.... B....

    I'm so glad I've discovered this artist, she's great! I hope she gets discovered soon!

    K.... B....

  29. S.... N....

  31. z.... ....
