Worry dolls are very small and colorful dolls traditionally made in Guatemala. A person (usually a child) who cannot sleep due to worrying can express their worries to a doll and place it under their pillow before going to sleep. Some medical centers use them in conjunction with treatment for disease in children. According to folklore, the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep peacefully. The person will wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night. Parents may remove the doll during the night, reinforcing the child's belief that the worry is gone.
lyrics
I line the trinkets on the table in a row
Could this thread and wire save me?
Whisper fears, tuck them underneath your pillow
Will you be gone, will they be gone by the morning?
Do you only take one worry? Or can I fill you up with dread?
Would it be selfish of me to be relieved of the monsters in my head
While you wear my scars, cry my tears, crush your tiny, woven heart?
But what takes it all away from you? Do you fray and fall apart?
I'm carrying too much, I feel a shaking in my knees
I'd kill to trade these thoughts for just a little sleep
But somehow, they still find a way to seep into my dreams
When it's finally all too much, I'll hold you in my hands and scream
I'm scared I will sink into this sand
I'm scared I will never hold his hand
And I'm terrified at twenty-two
My world's forever tinted blue
Will the sparks and sounds inside my head
Be lost to math and medicine?
How could I fall so far behind?
Are these memories worth the wasted time?
These ropes are frayed beyond repair
How will I break the news that I don't care?
Will I ever have a say?
Will it ever be okay?
For now I'll hold you in my pocket
Keep you safe while I still can
But I know someday, I'll give in
And I hope you'll understand
When you wear my scars, cry my tears
Crush your tiny, woven heart
What takes it all away from you?
Do you fray and fall apart?
What takes it all away from you?
Do you fray and fall apart?
