Resting Power - Mori Calliope (森カリオペ)
Started like a whisper but grew as I flew
At times I almost miss her just do as I do
We can't lose it's confusing but I need you to trust me
She's plugging up her ears in pure rebellion it must be
Fear of contradicting a life in the un-living
A voice of vitriol pissed at y'all yet forgiving
Even so I fail just to walk toward
Her nails on a chalkboard
Swing the scythe but she talks back with a bright chord
Leaks out from time to time
Shouts loud and speaks her mind
Clout chasing more like racing the clock
Of modern minds
Leaving us behind just step back sure you'll find
With the two of us in tandem I will not let us die
So let's try let's try
To stand against the odds
They can call us anything like
******* cowards frauds
But we're the ones who get heard then we reap the applause
It's deeper than identity crisis like this because
It's a lifestyle ain't it
Wanna sketch it out first the crowd says paint it
But always eggshells walking over any vibe I'm sending
Ain't you ever sick of pretending
So I'll take a solid look in the mirror
Should I give her all of it should I fear her
Here and now you're part of me
Resting power heart of free soul
Stand against time
Put your hand in mine
Here and now you're part of me
Every hour feels like the beginning
A transient shield she's what the real me could never be
Plans to get that gold never get old remember me
Says it every time like she knows it's only temporary
Bird brained and clumsy she numbs me yet she becomes me
Nobody ever really sees the difference
Bloodied up and leaning sideways she closes distance
Rinse repeat defeat
Convince get beat delete
Mince words and take heat wincing hurting hit the streets
Birds of a feather flock together here we are again
She and I see eye to eye
But can't help set the bar again
So tell me just how far we gonna take this
Work until the fires of the clientele break us
You smile well reside in hell and never give in
But maybe I can't survive an environment like this
Tired and anxious her advice is we are their light sis
And so I fight this
The brightness in my crisis
She saved my ******* life risk it all
It's a lifestyle ain't it
She finds a way to cleanse
Our soiled rep when I stain it
But always eggshells walking
Over any vibe I'm sending
Ain't you ever sick of pretending
So I'll take a solid look in the mirror
Should I give her all of it should I fear her
Here and now you're part of me
Resting power heart of free soul
Stand against time
Put your hand in mine
Here and now you're part of me
Every hour feels like the beginning
It feels like the beginning
It's nothing like the beginning
I think we just might be winning
I'm thinking you must be kidding
It feels like the beginning
But I'm really thinking you and
I could start something new
