No Rest

(album: The Guilt & The Grief - 2016)

We fell together, and then we fell apart
So absent minded I was blinded from the start
Excuses hollow, absent and alone
Trying to find a place for me to lay my head and home

I needed some time to take time for myself
I needed a moment to breathe
I needed some silence to placate the violence growing inside of me

So scatter my ashes, and throw me to the wind
There's no rest for the wicked, and god, how I've sinned

So unaware, so disconnected
So absent minded I was blinded by the choice
But everything I have could be taken away
Without a moment to spare
With nothing ventured, there's nothing gained
But you have to believe I still cared

Give me some time to take time for myself
Give me a moment of sleep
Give me some quiet to break up the riot growing inside of me

So scatter my ashes, and throw me to the wind
There's no rest for the wicked, and god, how I've sinned
But I tried and I tried, I just wanted to be
A better man for the rest of my days
I know that the world is bigger than you and me
Cut me open and see how I bleed

So scatter my ashes, and throw me to the wind
There's no rest for the wicked, and god, how I've sinned
But I tried and I tried, I just wanted to be
A better man for the rest of my days
I know that the world is bigger than you and me
