Rest

And after all these spinning clocks have come to rest and done their best to
throw us we’re still hanging on with both our hands
And while the gears with gnashing teeth they chew and creak revolve and speak
no names just wordless ways ignoring our demands
Not until you not until you rest
Not until you not until you rest
And this might tear us twice in two or wear us down or wear us through inertia
unrelenting distant over time
And if today is not a date that stumbles blindly while we wait six billion
clerks consenting we are doing fine
Not until you not until you rest
Not until you not until you rest
And after all these spinning clocks have come to rest and done their best to
throw us we’re still hanging on with both our hands
