simple man Lyrics

warm glow street light, wet stone pavement

heavy thoughts, dusk til dawn

numbing voices, coerced choices

generation lost

simple man

how long has it been

i think seventeen years has come and gone

and nothing seems to fall into place

oh, how time breaks down our skin

i wonder father, if you ever

would have followed your dreams

disintegrating fading memories

in the neon redblood sea

from the dying sun

simple man

how i wish to be like you

i think thirty something years is just a number

but nothing seems to fall into place

oh, how pain bleeds from within

simple man

how bitter i’ve become

i think all my life i tried to be like you

and nothing seems to fall into place

oh, how time never seems to mend
