Rest in Peace

Pardon me if I don’t gracefully bow out
When ghosts come to steal my sleep
I already silenced voices in my head that were so loud
Now I deserve a turn to Rest In Peace
Pardon me if I don’t gracefully bow out
When ghosts come to steal my sleep
I already silenced voices in my head that were so loud
Now I deserve a turn to Rest In Peace
I am just another antsy passenger, never asked for Babylon
I wanted nothing more than some floor to lay a mattress on
But simple things never did come easy
I’ma keep seeking me, sleep little, continue breathing
Itching for the road, I got five bucks for gas
A sail and a flag, I’m flying both at half mast
It’s a, long lonely road, I’m not in a hurry
I’ma make it out the other side, tell Mama not to worry
The line between a sigh and a deep breath is patience
We’d all suffocate if we didn’t get good at waitin'
But how easily relaxin' turns into procrastination
And you wake up years later, just wonderin' where your days went
It’s a balancing act, so hold a toast to my people with a past made of mostly
ash and smoke
Redefine the treaty, accept it and defeat it
And we might have backed down, but we never once retreated, so
