Resting Power

歌詞

Started like a whisper, but grew as I flew At times, I almost miss her. Just do as I do We can't lose, it's confusing, but I need you to trust me She's plugging up her ears in pure rebellion, it must be Fear of contradicting, a life in the un-living A voice of vitriol, pissed at y'all, yet forgiving Even so, I fail just to walk toward Her nails on a chalkboard Swing the scythe, but she talks. Back. With a bright chord. Leaks out from time to time, Shouts loud and speaks her mind Clout chasing? More like racing the clock Of modern minds Leaving us behind, just step back, sure you'll find With the two of us in tandem I will not let us die So let's try To stand against the odds They can call us anything like Bitches, cowards, frauds …but WE'RE the ones who get heard, then we reap the applause It's deeper than identity crisis, like this because… It's a lifestyle, ain't it? Wanna sketch it out first, the crowd says paint it, but always Eggshells walking over any vibe I'm sending Ain't you ever sick of pretending? So I'll take a solid look in the mirror Should I give her all of it, should I fear her? Here and Now you're, Part of me Resting power, heart of free soul Stand against time, Put your Hand in mine Here and Now you're, Part of me, every Hour, feels like the beginning. A transient shield, she's what the real me could never be Plans to get that gold, never get old, "remember me" Says it every time, like she knows it's only temporary Bird brained and clumsy, she numbs me, Yet she beCOMES me Nobody ever really SEES the difference Bloodied up and leaning sideways, she closes distance, rinse, repeat, defeat, Convince, get beat, delete Mince words, and take heat, wincing, hurting, hit the streets birds of a feather flock together, here we are again She and I see eye to eye but can't help set the bar again …So tell me just how far we gonna take this? Work until the fires of the clientele break us? You smile well, reside in hell and never give in But maybe I can't survive an environment like this Tired and anxious, her advice is "We are their light, sis." And so I fight this. The brightness, in my crisis, she saved my fuckin life, risk it all It's a lifestyle, ain't it? She finds a way to cleanse our soiled rep when I stain it, but always Eggshells walking over any vibe I'm sending Ain't you ever sick of pretending? So I'll take a solid look in the mirror Should I give her all of it, should I fear her? Here and Now you're, Part of me Resting power, heart of free soul Stand against time, Put your Hand in mine Here and Now you're, Part of me, every Hour, feels like the beginning. It feels like the beginning. It's nothing like the beginning. I think we just might be winning. I'm thinking you must be kidding. It feels like the beginning. But I'm really thinking you and I could start something new.
