REST IN POWER by Tom Jensen
I love you to learn you
Just to hate you and burn you
You see I got these demons
Who don’t deal well with feelings
When betrayed by your senses
You learn to build up defenses
And to hide in dark places
Drawing lines no one traces
Blazing a trail no one follows
A space empty and hollow
Where the dreams of a child
Would guide you through to tomorrow
Yet now the future looks bleak
As you’ve found what you seek
But it’s alien and strange
Since your outlook has changed
You used to want to save the world
Now you just wanna fuck the girls
Letting your id eat you alive
The super ego closes his eyes
They’ve separated you from your mind
And your heart from your soul
It’s time to wrestle back control
Or become someone you don’t know…
As you passed a stranger out on the street
Thought to yourself, “He looked a lot like me…”
Well not who I am but who I used to be
Those are two different people entirely
To rest in power not peace
You gotta keep feeding the beast
And once you catch the disease
You no longer wanna break free
That’s when you know
Got a tiger by the toe
But stop lying to yourself
You want them to let go
I love you to learn you
Just to hate you and burn you
You see I got these demons
Who don’t deal well with feelings
When betrayed by your senses
You learn to build up defenses
And to hide in dark places
Drawing lines no one traces
Blazing a trail no one follows
A space empty and hollow
Where the dreams of a child
Would guide you through to tomorrow
Yet now the future looks bleak
As you’ve found what you seek
But it’s alien and strange
Since your outlook has changed
You used to want to save the world
Now you just wanna fuck the girls
Letting your id eat you alive
The super ego closes his eyes
They’ve separated you from your mind
And your heart from your soul
It’s time to wrestle back control
Or become someone you don’t know…
As you passed a stranger out on the street
Thought to yourself, “He looked a lot like me…”
Well not who I am but who I used to be
Those are two different people entirely
To rest in power not peace
You gotta keep feeding the beast
And once you catch the disease
You no longer wanna break free
That’s when you know
