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 there's the words...
