Rest

All these relief-givers The needle sure revs in the red Chemicals like drugs from Inside they feel like my best friend 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 And God rest, God rest our souls And this substance is the only comfort I know He's been pushing for a while Can we cut this man some slack? Let him lie down, let him lie down We are a country Desperate for the embryonic I'm cold and I'm hungry And I yearn for a hand on my forehead 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 a walking dead And God rest, please rest our souls And the more I take, the less comfort I know She's been pushing for a while Can we cut this woman slack? Let her lie down, let her lie down The more that you hurl at me The more I will curl up in my bed Where's the humanity? Aren't we all hovering around the same end? Door number one, two, and three have been promises That aren't enough to be kept You wish me a speedy recovery But when you turn I plumb the depths And God rest, God please rest our souls This is the surest exit I have known We've been hurting for a while Can we cut ourselves some slack Let us lie down, let us lie down Let us lie down, let me lie down
