Rest (Live 2017)

[Verse 1]

All these relief-givers

The needle sure revs in the red

Chemicals like drugs from

Feel like they come my best friend

[Pre-Chorus]

You think me a coward but I am a warrior

With many voices in my head

When I looked around and I reached out

I saw no alternative

[Chorus]

And God rest, God rest our souls

And this substance is the only comfort I know

[Post-Chorus]

He's been pushing for a while

Can we cut this man some slack

Let him lie down, let him lie down

[Verse 2]

We are a country

Despеrate for the embryonic

I'm cold and I'm hungry

And I yеarn for a hand on my forehead

[Pre-Chorus]

You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy

She's got it as good as it gets

This misunderstanding's a line between living

Or being the walking dead

[Chorus]

And God rest, please rest our souls

And the more I take, the less comfort I know

[Post-Chorus]

She's been pushing for a while

Can we cut this woman slack

Let her lie down, let her lie down

[Verse 3]

The more that you hurl at me

The more I will curl up in my bed

And where's the humanity?

Aren't we all hovering around the same end?

[Pre-Chorus]

Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises

That aren't real enough to be kept

You wish me a speedy recovery

But when you turn I plumb the depths

[Chorus]

And God rest, God please rest our souls

This is the surest exit I have known

We've been hurting for a while

[Post-Chorus]

Can we cut ourselves some slack

Let us lie down, let us lie down

Let us lie down, let me lie down
