Rest in Peace Songtext
von Rumbletramp

I wonder how many turtles I′ll save
I wonder how many more days I'll wait
I′ll wait up with you
I'm not tired enough to sleep

Our manic optimism and desire for destruction
Leads us to drown our prudency til our self-control can't function
Those nights when you get mad and leave
It′s not you I′m afraid of leaving me

When I found you I though I found the rubric for what love is
With your head on my chest and my face in your breast
We slept like little babies

Your terrors stopped, my insomnia gone, we both could rest in peace
'Cause once again I find it hard to sleep


I don′t have much occasion to drink all that much these days
I built these inhibitions, I don't want them to fade away
They′re the only thing that's keeping me
From saying what′s got me sad

There's no deeper understanding in this constant discontent,
Depressed and drunken rambling
There's only more self-loathing and
Isolation down that path

I lost my train of thought, forgot the damage that I wrought
Do we have to stay up and drink all those beers we got?
It′s not the type of night for orphans anyway, so
What say you stay?

When I found you I though I found the rubric for what love is
With your head on my chest and my face in your breast
We slept like little babies

Your terrors stopped, my insomnia gone, we both could rest in peace
′Cause once again I find it hard to sleep
