Stand at Ease

If depression was a sin

Wouldn't change it in the end

And I know it gets dark

And we're all looking for a spark

To fight the fear of feeling

You wrote me letters from the road

All those words left to unfold

Now I'm taking time

To read between the lines

And all that it's revealing

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep

I suffered 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

I know you never crossed your heart

When you kept us worlds apart

You'd hit your knees to pray

With Fentanyl on display

And every devil showing

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

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep

I suffered 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

I still hear your voice in my head sayin'

Keep on going ya gotta keep on

I still miss your original soul sayin'

Keep on going ya gotta keep on

I still hear your voice in my head sayin'

Keep on going ya gotta keep on

I still miss that original soul sayin'

Keep on going ya gotta keep on

Keep on going

Why can't I stand at ease

While you fall asleep

I suffered 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
