Leave this heart and let it remain in slumber
Let me live in a suspended reverie
I’d rather you leave me be in this standing
In sleep, in silence, this calmness, this serenity


Rest is needed so very badly
The body craves a respite to reset
Elementals had worn me
The tireless got tired and weary


Roaming this earth with endless battles
I’ve felt and seen my unwanted shares
More of the vicious and malicious pain
And so little of the precious benevolence


I struggled to create mine over and over
Like sand castles they crumbled with the waves
Still I continued armed nothing but aspirations
But my last reserve is spent and I have nothing


With a different position I chose to differ and run
I stopped the building and in pieces I chose to leave
With a heavy heart I opt to evolve under the radar
As I sleep and let the changes take over


I’ll wake when my time comes calling
So when you find me I’ll be better
And I can soar even higher
But for now, leave me be in my slumber
