Stand at Ease

[Verse 1]

If depression was a sin

Wouldn't change it in the end

And I know it gets so dark and we're all lookin' for a spark

To fight the fear of feeling

[Verse 2]

You wrote me letters from the road

All those words left to unfold

But now I'm takin' time to read between the lines

And all that it's revealing

[Chorus]

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep?

I suffer when Mother said

You should not be alone

And I can't stand to see

What you've done to be free

I'll be there when you see the morning light

Now you're bound to sleep alone

[Verse 4]

I know you never crossed your heart

When you kept us worlds apart

You'd hit your knees to pray with Fentanyl all on display

And every devil showing

[Verse 5]

I know it never crossed your mind

That you'd leave your girls behind

'Cause I'll cry tears to waste and have nowhere to place

The blame that keeps on growing

[Chorus]

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep?

I suffer when Mother said

You should not be alone

And I can't stand to see

What you've done to be free

I'll be there when you see the morning light

Now you're bound to sleep alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I still hear your voice in my head

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

And I still miss your original soul

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

I still hear your voice in my head

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

And I still miss that original soul

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

I still hear your voice in my head

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

And I still miss that original soul

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

I still hear your voice in my head

Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"

Keep on goin'

[Chorus]

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep?

I suffer when Mother said

You should not be alone

I know you didn't mean

To leave it all to me

I'll wake up just to see the morning light

But you're bound to sleep alone
