Tyler has | A lot of Tyler's songs deal with sleep/night time, such as "Ode to sleep", "Guns for Hands" and "Truce". I think this song is about those nights where he has too many worries and thoughts that keep him up at night. | ||
'You will never know what's behind my skull/You will never know what's under my hair/You will never know what's under my skin/You will never know what is in my veins' - I think this refers to how he is able to put on a facade during the day but when night comes he struggles to hide how he actually feels and deals with his anxieties and fears that he has avoided throughout the day. | |||
'I'm calling my father, Am I screaming to an empty sky?' He doesn't know who to turn to when he feels this bad and questions his faith as he tries to reach out to God. [https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858886313/ <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>] | |||

You will never know what's behind my skull | |||
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye? | |||

[Verse 3] | |||
I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and I | |||
Don't know where I should go and the tears and the fears begin to multiply | |||
Taking time in a simple place; in my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase | |||
And it's said that a war's lead but I forget that I let another day go by (Ah) | |||
I want to be afraid but it seems that these days | |||
I'm caught underwater and I'm falling farther | |||
My heart's getting harder, I'm calling my father | |||
Am I screaming to an empty sky? | |||
Empty sky, no way, that's me 'cause one half of my heart is free | |||
Empty sky, no way, that's me, 'cause the other half of my heart's asleep | |||
