Rest Lyrics by ANOHNI

My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross

2023

[Verse 1]
Rest like the soul of a diamond
Rest like a woman in a field of wheat
Rest and she'll come home to you
She'll come home to you

[Verse 2]
Rest like the soft light of Mercury
Rest like your hunger is the victory
It's a longing laughing day
It's a longing laughing day

[Verse 3]
I wait for you to come home
Playing deep within your eyes
Sleeping deep, it feels so real
Feels so real

[Verse 4]
Now all my life I wait for you
I wait for you to come on home
For to go to sleep
Sleep inside your eyes

[Verse 5]
Like a fire of tenderness
Like the west waits for the north
Like my guilt waits for reprieve
Like my guilt waits for reprieve

[Verse 6]
Rest like a stone waits for the sun
Waiting at the bottom of the ocean
Like a jewel waits for the sand
Like a jewel waits for the sand

[Verse 7]
Music for the children
We can't teach you how to crawl
Demon dancing's all I know
Demon dancing's all I know
Demon dancing's all I know

[Bridge]
Rest your soul, rest your soul
Rest your soul, rest your soul

[Verse 8]
Rest like the enemy of all that breathes
Rest like the enemy of all that sees
In the poison ocean blue
She'll come home to you

[Outro]
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home (Rest your soul)
She'll come home (Rest your soul)
She'll come home (Rest your soul)
(Rest your soul)

She'll come, come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
She'll come home
