A Labor More Restful Lyrics by Dirty Projectors

Slaves’ Graves & Ballads

2004

[Verse]
You are finally convinced
That you inhabit
The same banal world as everyone
Everyone has found it too
Everyone has resigned themselves
To it
[Chorus]
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide or remember
Decide or remember
[Verse]
Have you stopped looking
In order to put yourself
To some real purpose?
Or have you simply found
A labor more restful
Than big-hearted yearning
And knowing that you're incomplete?
[Chorus]
And the only mystery
Is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember clearly
The only mystery is in what you couldn't decide
Or remember
Decide
Or remember
