LYRICS

All these relief-givers
The needle sure revs in the red
Chemicals like hugs from inside
they feel like my best friend

You think me a coward but I am a warrior
With many voices in my head
When I looked around and I reached out
I saw no alternative

God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know

He's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
Let him lie down, let him lie down

We are a country desperate for the embryonic
I'm cold and I'm hungry and
I yearn for a hand on my forehead

You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy
"She's got it as good as it gets"
This misunderstanding's the line between living
or being the walking dead

And God rest, please rest our souls
And the more I take, the less comfort I know
She's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this woman slack
Let her lie down, let her lie down

The more that you hurl at me
The more I will curl up in my bed
where's the humanity?
Aren't we all hovering around the same end?

Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises
that aren't real enough to be kept
You wish me a speedy recovery
But when you turn I plumb the depths

And God rest, God please rest our souls
This is the surest exit I have known
We've been hurting for a while
Can we cut ourselves some slack
Let us lie down, let us lie down
Let us lie down, let me lie down

I heard this at Chester's memorial. Touching and haunting. We miss him and always will. Beautiful song. God rest our souls.

I've never known an artist to be this consistent. One listen and you're hooked. She simply never disappoints...

In memory of my beautiful son, Kyle, he passed away in 2013 at 21 years old by suicide. He suffered from depression, anxiety, ptsd, and addiction. He soul is at rest, but, I miss and love him so incredibly much! Ty, for this beautiful song. I hope it can help so many people that are suffering from any mental health illnesses.💜🙏

This song is at a level of beauty only Alanis can achieve.

[llroman]

Amazing songwriter and heartfelt performer. Beautiful performance from her today at Lisa Marie Presley's funeral, brought me here today. Wonderful song.

[benjaminrogers]

I miss u so 😢 much Mom. I never knew what a toll it would take on me.

[Crashnburnncolorado]

RIP Chester Bennington you are missed and loved more than anyone can ever express.

[pattyhaley]

Never heard this song until Lisa Marie's funeral. What a hauntingly brilliant song. When you sing about the woman who needs to lie down, can we please let her lie down. Your words are speaking to Lisa Marie who was broken and just wanted peace. You honored her well Alanis ❤️❤️. I'm now forever going to listen to this masterpiece and reflect on my loved ones who God has given Rest to their souls.

[stevegunther]

Alanis has been my favorite artist since I was thirteen. I'm thirty seven now and she's still my favorite. This is beautiful.

[IrvSauce]

i was there when she sang this for us at chester's memorial at the hollywood bowl. it has since become so damn meaningful for me. the struggles i face every day suck and nobody in my life can relate. but this song makes me feel less alone. it's as if my own soul wrote it. thanks Alanis, and to everyone else hurting... i am so sorry you feel the way you must feel to fully relate to this song.

[angelgilreath]

Just watched her perform this live at Lisa Marie's service. Just her voice and the pianist. So beautiful, brought me to tears.

Alanis has the talent and the courage to sing what we can't face

[dossesb]

This song is absolutely wonderful, thank you very much for visualizing mental health, I already cried many times listening to this song, I love you

[shandrikacombs]

This song and the way Alanis sings it explains soul exhaustion perfectly.

[skicast]

I first heard this song at Lisa Marie Presley’s memorial service, and I have to say.. WOW. This song is so hauntingly beautiful.

[PuppyBreath-nusp]

This is the first time hearing this beautiful but tragic song. Ms. Morissette, your lyrics are haunting and move me to tears. Tears for once being at this very place myself but more so for those beautiful souls who are knee-deep in My prayer to you my sister, my brother, is "please stay here". I love you.

[yourfairyking]

I feel I've been taking for granted how much music we've been receiving lately. I think I'm still in shock from both the release of Pretty Little Forks, and my inability to comprehend just how lucky I am to live at the same time as this woman.

[UltimateShadow]

I too miss him, i still can believe is gone 😢 his voice wil be heard forever! Thank you chaz, hope you found your peace

[thomasmurrett]
