Presuming Ed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My Brother Fear is only natural
You need to chill your fucking bones
Lay her down, drink this in
While you can.
Whisper, rest easy,
There's a belly full of life.
Watch her, she's dreaming
Of a belly full of life
Right there on the pillow.
This is why we are here.
Rest easy.
This is why we are here.
Rest easy.
You know that everything is finite,
You know you too are not alone.
Soothe her brow, drink her smile,
Watch her dream.
You'll feel Christ like when it's breathing in and out
You'll feel Christ like when it's breathing in and out
Right there on the pillow
This is why we are here,
Rest Easy
