Gonna keep on going, plowing through
Gonna change direction, not bypass you
I rode out hope & image too & every contour that your body ever fell pray to
Racing thoughts, and shallow breaths & everything between the pain of birth, and death
You... help me throw it all on some shelf
‘Cause you are simplicity herself
Gonna pay attention, I won’t complain
Gonna hold it in & not show you pain
Call me dependent.. or insecure
But in my bones I know nothing else is true
Gonna sing you praises, gonna write you songs
‘Cause you’re the only place where I even distantly belong
& you help me throw it all on some shelf - only
You could hide me from myself
‘Cause you are simplicity herself
Who ever told time to pile on the years?
There'll always be more tales than ears
God knows how many stories go untold
I don’t take calls, avoid favors, fake control
But you gotta get your story straight
‘Cause you could be worth your gold in weight
& cradle simplicity herself
