Resting the hatchet

🎶 RESTING THE HATCHET (Song Version)

©️mary🦂🌺

⸻

🎤 [Verse 1 — soft, minimal piano / ambient]

I have no words for now
and my time has passed
as I linger
in the numbness of my thoughts

I always asked
for my mind to quiet down—
but it’s frightening
when I don’t hear it anymore

⸻

🌫 [Pre-Chorus — tension builds slightly]

The voices in my head
are silently watching
my blurred visions

Even dreaming…
is a black screen

⸻

🌊 [Chorus — slow, haunting, repeatable]

I rest my hatchet…
I will not fight for this anymore

I rest my silence…
on the pieces of what we were before

⸻

🎶 [Verse 2]

This is what you do to me—
annihilating who I was

Bring me back my soul
or spare what’s left of me

My heart is breaking
into things I cannot hold

⸻

🌫 [Pre-Chorus 2]

All that I am disperses
as you build distance between us

I don’t blame you…
I just let it end

⸻

🌊 [Chorus — fuller, still restrained]

I rest my hatchet…
I will not fight for this anymore

I rest my silence…
on the pieces of what we were before

⸻

🌙 [Bridge — spoken, fragile]

Forgive me…
but forgetting
will be the last thing I’ll ever do

“It is what it is…”

The only sound
left inside me

⸻

🌫 [Final Chorus — almost whisper]

I rest my hatchet…
my hands too weak to hold

I rest my faith…
in what I cannot control

⸻

🌑 [Outro — fade out]

My hatchet is jaded…
My bare hands are weak…

Ambient piano, cinematic, slow tempo, emotional female vocal, minimal beat, haunting, soft and intimate
