can I rest now

Sorrows at the door
fog under my feet
Anger grows in silence
I'm not ready to exist
Misery dreams of people like me
Tired for too long
Controlled by grief

What if I tell you
I'll burn this house
Disappointment locked inside it
With no way of getting out
What if I tell you
Prayers can't protect me now
Ashes all over my body
cleanse my soul as I die

Smoke in my eyes
I'm beginning
Can I rest now
Smoke in my eyes
I'm beginning
Can I rest now

If only for a moment
I was allowed
To feel this kind of sadness
It's an art to fall apart
Absence brings a glimpse of relief
I'm too young to be smart
And too old to be seen

What if I tell you
I'll burn this house
Have you ever been this broken
Have you ever had enough
What if I tell you
Prayers can't protect me now
Ashes all over my body
cleanse my soul as I die

Everything I have is compassion
And what's left of kindness
Let the blood moon come
To turn my sadness into madness

Smoke in my eyes
I'm beginning
Can I rest
Smoke in my eyes
I'm beginning
Can I rest
