Simple Song of Sin

Light is fading Winter is calling Summer is falling down Autumn shape my senses sharp Like a feeling All of the people All that is painful now And it's making this so hard What if the song I'm singing Just pretends Wrapped around the finger Of contempt But I'm gonna change my tune The shtick is wearin' thin It's my voice You darling dig it, just noise A simple song of sin All the baseline Leads to a lifetime Looks well in hindsight but Struggles in the present tense Eyes wide open All that you see can be hard To carry it through Into imagination Shadows growin' taller Every night Self-affliction smaller And uptight But I'm gonna drop the clue The shtick is wearin' thin It's my voice You darlin' dig in, just noise A simple song of sin When you're restless and easily upset It's hard to forget to remember to forget What if the song you're singing Just pretends It's not even beginning And it never ends But I'm gonna change my tune The shtick is wearin' thin It's my voice You darling dig in, just noise A simple song of sin But I'm gonna drop the clue The shtick is wearin' thin It's my voice You darlin' dig in, just noise A simple song of sin But I'm gonna drop the clue
