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