Rest lyrics

All these relief-givers

The needle sure revs in the red

Chemicals like hugs 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

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 the line between living

or being the 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 real 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
