Stand at Ease

[Verse 1]
If depression was a sin
Wouldn't change it in the end
And I know it gets so dark and we're all lookin' for a spark
To fight the fear of feeling

[Verse 2]
You wrote me letters from the road
All those words left to unfold
But now I'm takin' time to read between the lines
And all that it's revealing

[Chorus]
Why can't I stand at ease
While you fall asleep?
I suffer when Mother said
You should not be alone
And I can't stand to see
What you've done to be free
I'll be there when you see the morning light
Now you're bound to sleep alone

[Verse 4]
I know you never crossed your heart
When you kept us worlds apart
You'd hit your knees to pray with Fentanyl all on display
And every devil showing

[Verse 5]
I know it never crossed your mind
That you'd leave your girls behind
'Cause I'll cry tears to waste and have nowhere to place
The blame that keeps on growing

[Chorus]
Why can't I stand at ease
While you fall asleep?
I suffer when Mother said
You should not be alone
And I can't stand to see
What you've done to be free
I'll be there when you see the morning light
Now you're bound to sleep alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I still hear your voice in my head
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
And I still miss your original soul
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
I still hear your voice in my head
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
And I still miss that original soul
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
I still hear your voice in my head
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
And I still miss that original soul
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
I still hear your voice in my head
Sayin', "Keep on goin', you gotta keep on"
Keep on goin'

[Chorus]
Why can't I stand at ease
While you fall asleep?
I suffer when Mother said
You should not be alone
I know you didn't mean
To leave it all to me
I'll wake up just to see the morning light
But you're bound to sleep alone
