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

and 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
