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
