Lyrics Rest - Samm Henshaw , half•alive

It was something I believed in
Ain't no rest until the bank account peakin'
You say the city never sleeps in
But Living busy isn't giving you your worth
Slowing down is fighting back
The time you take is given back
Shifting gears is saving gas
Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom
Slowing down and see it
Rest is the secret
I start to believe it
City is built on blood and muscle
Skyscrapers held on by philosophy of hustling
Saturday is my cathedral
A day to stop and rest is holding up the steeple
This might be news for all the people
But living busy isn't giving you your worth
Slowing down is fighting back
Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom
Coming on the noise you can find a leson
Rest is the secret
I start to believe it
Stopping the motion to process the moment
(Why don't we stop just to process)
Can I take a minute maybe a breath to breathe
Can I take a second I'm craving Clarity
So lost in the thought of what one day I could be that
I forget to take some time to make a richer me
I searched around to find myself a mental cure
I took a break that's probably what I'm lookin for
What once was lost has finally got me reassured
Leaving room for greater paths
Letting go and kicking back
Reading books and taking baths
Slowing down is
Rest is a secret
I start to believe it
Stopping the motion to process the moment
(Why don't we just stop to process)
