Gonna keep on going, plowing throughÂ
Gonna change direction, not bypass youÂ
I rode out hope & image too & every contour that your body ever fell pray toÂ
Racing thoughts, and shallow breaths & everything between the pain of birth, and deathÂ
You... help me throw it all on some shelfÂ
âCause you are simplicity herselfÂ
Gonna pay attention, I wonât complainÂ
Gonna hold it in & not show you painÂ
Call me dependent.. or insecureÂ
But in my bones I know nothing else is trueÂ
Gonna sing you praises, gonna write you songsÂ
âCause youâre the only place where I even distantly belongÂ
& you help me throw it all on some shelf - onlyÂ
You could hide me from myselfÂ
âCause you are simplicity herselfÂ
Who ever told time to pile on the years?Â
There'll always be more tales than earsÂ
God knows how many stories go untoldÂ
I donât take calls, avoid favors, fake controlÂ
But you gotta get your story straightÂ
âCause you could be worth your gold in weightÂ
& cradle simplicity herself
