Failing Body 2k Lyrics by Careful Gaze

You Too Will Rest

2019

I woke on an island, shed tears for my family
You woke on an island with blood on your hands
No judgment or hatred regarding appearance
We shed our old clothes and we danced on the land
We explored for the morning‚ I talked about futures
We mourned over people we harmed in the past
We stumbled on wreckage from my former vessel
Lying in pieces splintered in the sand
And this is just how you wanted it
This is just how you wanted it
You grew weak on the island‚ collapsed in some flowers
With a look in your eyes I had not seen before
The look said “I've lived so sure of where I was going
At the end I'm afraid I don't know any more”
You apologized and those words hit like a bullet
You said “I know we were different but I loved you regardless
And all of the reasons that we battled each other
Will be buried on the island - and they're not coming with us”
And this is just how we wanted it
Let’s stay up late my brothers
That is just how we wanted it
Let’s stay up late my sisters
You died on the island with me right beside you
I built you a raft and pushed you from the shore
I sent God a message - if they send back your body
When they're done with your soul‚ I will tend to your form
I built a new treehouse with wreckage from old ones
My brothers and sisters awake in these walls
Your body came back so I buried you with them
My loved ones and enemies - all stripped of their labels
And this is just how I wanted it
Let’s stay up late, my brothers
This is just how I wanted it
Let’s stay up late, my sisters
How many of you are there
This is just how I wanted it
How many of you were there
This is just how I wanted it
This is just how I wanted it
