Slow It Down

It seems impossible to find balance in the midst of the imbalanced systems that we operate in.

No rest for the weary? Can we get more rest for the weary? I'm realizing that the quest for rest IS the quest to see clearly

This song was written as an attempt to create a pocket of peace in the midst of the pandemonium of persisting. It is also an expression of gratitude for my partner.

Hope it helps you find a pocket of peace as soon as possible.

Peace
Thanks for stoping by

lyrics

This life keeps moving faster & faster
To slow it down I have to, I have to right now
To avoid disaster, disaster
This moment I have captured the rapture right now

I’m feeling trapped trying to make some space for grace
But can’t believe the horror that’s taking place
We lost a lot of people that we can’t replace
& we’re polarized with two sides that can’t embrace
That’s why I’m sipping on my favorite grapes
But I long to see my fam face to face
But right now I’d even take mask to mask
& ask em all the questions that I haven’t asked
But as time is passing fast I slow it down have a glass
Just feeling grateful that I have a task
Which is finding joy in the midst of pain
Seems to do that I have to be a bit insane
Stay aware of the body & forget the brain
Waiting for COVID-19 to end it’s reign
I’m praying so a higher power’ll make it so
’Til then I take these racing thoughts and make em slow

This life keeps moving faster & faster
To slow it down I have to, I have to right now
To avoid disaster, disaster
This moment I have captured the rapture right now

When I was lost you were who I found
In the past was living fast, now we slow it down
I knew it then & I know it now
The love I have for you is so profound
Cuz it’s true that you are my better half
Your worth I can’t even measure that
When the days are dark I know where my treasures at
But the days have been rough feel like we never laugh
Feel like everyday I’m staring at a epitaph
& we’re both getting lost in separate tasks
But we can’t separate it’s time to unify
I focus on you & I, distractions I do deny
Cuz you’re my light like looking to the sky
That’s not a soothing lie that’s the truth that I
Try to honor but I’m lost in loss
Deep emotions got me exploding, molotov
Once the anger arises it’s hard to call it off
Thought I was balanced but I keep falling off
So I apologize, look deeper where knowledge hides
Cuz in our unity is where the beauty all resides
Cuz when I was lost, you were who I found
In the past we were living fast now we slow it down
I knew it then & I know it now
The love I have for you is so profound

This life keeps moving faster & faster
To slow it down I have to, I have to right now
To avoid disaster, disaster
This moment I have captured the rapture right now
