Using "Cease" in Your Lyrics

Cease is stopping made deliberate — more intentional than end, more final than pause. Perfect rhymes like 'peace' and 'release' add the relief of stopping, while near rhymes like 'breathe' or 'believe' add the effort of continuation that ceasing finally abandons. Cease verses work best in their silence.
