We shall rest lyrics

Let’s hide from death under the bed

There’s no way it’ll find us there

Let’s scream til our faces are red

Then you’ll get drunk and I’ll cut your hair

Let’s drink caffeine after midnight

Let’s leave home without proper coats.

Let’s read half of all of our books

Let’s eat nothing but apples and toast

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

Lest get some drugs from my friend

But only the good kind of drugs

The ones that grow in the ground

And make you love every last thing

Let’s slow dance to a fast song

Put your feet on mine like daughters and dads

We'll cry and know it’s not wrong

Cause happy things sometimes make us sad

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

We shall suffer and we shall break

Bread in the evening and then we will make

Snow angels in winter and cider in spring

And through all our suffering still we will sing

Songs of great longing, triumph and fear

How gorgeous and rotten it is to be here

It don’t matter how many trips round the sun

What’s true about life is it breaks everyone

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

We shall rest we shall rest

Forgive me for all of the things that I said

While trapped in this house and trapped in this head

Trapped in this body that will soon turn to dust

At the whims of a god I’m not sure that I trust

One day you won’t be here and neither will I

Do we end in the ground or up in the sky

No cure for the pain there’s no magic pill

The lone consolation is one day we will

We will rest we shall rest

We shall rest we shall rest

Let’s go for a weekend away

Let’s not say a word but only sing

Lets make a radio show

About how we don’t know

Anything

Then we’ll rest we shall rest

Then we'll rest we shall rest
