lyrics

REST


Rest
On top of the water now
There's no weather, there's no wind
And I am in a pregnant silence
A calm before it will all catch up and be going full speed
And I am trying to keep one step ahead

Unguided, as in there are no rules
Don't let me crash into the shore
Lighthouse!
You are who can tell me where is safe
Where is sound

Also I do not want to tread water
Never swimming for fear of it

We moved like plants grew
No, like continents shifted
No, like planets rotated
It was the unnoticeable bend of the earth
Flat to us

One day we will get a rude awakening
Saying all we have learned is wrong
Or it has no power here
In the end this is not a cure-all
It won't fill cracks or heal wounds
In the end we're the bend of the earth
Flat to the eye
