Simple Town

its a simple town; with a lonely sound

there's demons in the trees

come and rescue me

its a simple town; where the face becomes a veil

where the eyes become a jail;

for the settlers minds to pale

its just a simple town

where the secrets drown

before they get around

but tonight they have been found

with the words come shatter out your mouth

you made a thundercloud come and rain on me

under a simple sky in a simple town

you made a knife of sound, cut the air for me

cut the secrets free

its a simple town, just a simple town

but that simple choked

the life right out of me

cause simple things

aren't so simple anymore

death is easy to ignore

when its numbers on a screen

and that simple town

it likes a simple war; chooses red or blue

the rest can be ignored

while the secrets wait; on tortured lips

till they're moved to sing; with the passion of a kiss

and theres the words....
