Unringing Bells - Redding

just sit down

please stop looking at my face

let me unring this bell

i’m sure there’s plenty more to waste

i can’t tell

if it’s safe to go

i can blow

and dismantle the earth i’m sure

your beauty always rises when I know

this burden of survival will soon grow cold

so let me sympathize with letting go

is this the final breakthrough or just another breakdown?

if you’re searching for an escape from me

take the path i’ve already worn
