Intro

Verse 1

Simple backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,

Take some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.

A world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.

With words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.

Pre-chorus

To drawn hate like a stone,

walk the path overgrown.

Never lie awake,

And so for goodness sake.

Verse 2

Well down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.

Rattling beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.

Bear your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.

And dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.

Pre-chorus

To drawn hate like a stone,

walk the path overgrown.

Never lie awake,

And so for goodness sake.

Chorus

Now call me crazy but all the old ways,

Of living simple are simply fading.

And all we buy is time before we die,

lay on down desensitized.

Verse 3

A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen".

Mind the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely.

Love yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.

Be sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.

Pre-chorus

To drawn hate like a stone,

walk the path overgrown.

Never lie awake,

And so for goodness sake.

Chorus

Now call me crazy but all the old ways,

Of living simple are simply fading.

And all we buy is time before we die,

lay on down

And all we buy is time before we die,

lay on down desensitized.
