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…
