Rest In Me Lyrics

Some contemplations made next to

A mug of warmth

Every little bead followed by another one

All of you made an impact.

Some dug holes and others scratched

Nevertheless you stayed in one's head

Locked inside a tiny endless universe

Under an umbrella we call memory

Why are these good for anyone?

Are these really necessary as they only

Give us awareness of our continued

Existence?

Sparks that turned to lifeless ash

But we still blow big breaths holding

Our attention to see re-ignition

Formidable actions layered like pancakes

Drizzled with tears and hope

You can let them go.

Yet, no pick up truck is showing up

A man and a van cannot be rented to

Place them in a storage box

If it was expulsion, intensity attached

If it was a voluntary leaving,

Sometimes you still end up yearning

I tried making different concoctions

Used destruction as a new foundation

I even read about this thing called transmutation

Opus magnum, apparently the greatest

Work an artist can build in the unknown

Hours of in between spaces

Since you all rest in me as active fragments,

Did you help at all to create

All the stained texts

Or is the idea of hardships being formed

Into golden rays of light too tattered

To entertain forever?

This is not tied to language but tied to our world.

Attached sometimes as an anchor

But then it also a curse.

What makes memories so important?

I ask it very straightforwardly.

What was the reason we met if it lead to nothing?

If I shatter my beads and throw them away,

I'll end up locked in solitary.

If I hold on to them the past takes over present.

And the present always stays empty anyways,

So there wouldn't be need for this to be written

Nothing should've been recorded.

History and all of my contemporaries made useless magic with their pens

I am not me and you are not you and

What happened never even existed

Outside of that point so why does it stay?

Because it did. It is resting inside of me.

Where is that inside? It's sure not in my stomach,

That only holds acid.

It is, was real after all so

That must be enough unless one

Day you show up and say it was all a bluff
