Simplicity

Choked out by bleeding hands as I kiss the lips
Of a new romance
When it all goes wrong, it just feels so right
I watch this world as it watches me
In complicated simplicity
Stumble through the dark to run through the light
Folded arms tell a thousand words
But I don't hear one that I deserve
Free from your mind stuck to your tongue
Close the book and I'm moving on
It's easy to admit the path is gone
When standing alone means no more pain
There's no more ways to drive yourself insane
No, No, No

[Chorus:]
Will it burn long enough
To make a mockery out of the things we trust?
I needed you to remind me of the things I shouldn't do
You like to kick me when I was down, I've got a habit of turning around
I've got a thicker skin, I've got scars to prove every fight I'm in
Take my hand and we'll walk this line
To a place that I was forced to spend my time
Trying to figure out the different between dreams and nightmares
And every spirits shackled to the ground
Makes us want to burn this place down

[Chorus]

I know things have changed but more has stayed the same
But I'm not complaining
Why do we give our souls to those who don't have their own?
So burn like the last fading star, I'm busy rebuilding my heart
So I can give it to the angel who ripped off her halo
Burn, burn, burn.
