Drones

Deep inside these burning buildings Voices die to be heard Years we spent teaching a lesson We ourselves had never learned And if strength is born from heartbreak Then mountains I could move And if walls could speak I'd pray That they would tell me what to do If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives), failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives), failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you The drones will slave away, they're working overtime They serve a faceless queen, they never question why (I won't come back), disciples of a God, they neither live nor breathe (I won't come back), but we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed I won't come back And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives), failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you I'm coming back to you
