The Hotelier - Your Deep Rest lyrics

rate me

“So, while you’re fixing up your bed ,sowhile you’re organizing drawers,

Could you just listen to the problems had with problems of yours

And What’s that note you’re writing there?

Why are you giving me this back?

This was a gift from when we met back when you weren’t so upset.”

I called in sick from your funeral

The sight of your body made me feel uncomfortable

I couldn’t recognize your shell

Your branching off had met an end

From all the weight that made you bend.

And when you tried to shed your leaves you pined for warmth as they said

“Your lack of love for your dear self

Is sapping all of us here out

Trace your roots back to the ground

Work out the knotholes for yourself.”

I called in sick from your funeral

The sight of your family made me feel responsible

And I found the notes you left behind;

Little hints and helpless cries,

Desperate wishing to be over

You said you’re trapped in your body

You’re getting deeper every day

They diagnosed you born that way

They say in runs in your family

A conscious erasure of working class background

Where despair trickles down

Imbalanced chemical crutch

Open up,swallow down

You said “remember me for me

I need to set my spirit free.”

I called in sick from your funeral

Tradition of closure nearly felt impossible

I should have never gave my word to you

Not a cry, not a sound.

Might have learned how to swim but never taught how to drown,

You said “remember me for me”

I watched you set your spirit free
