Deep inside these burning buildings Voices die to be heard Years we spent teaching a lesson We ourselves had never learned And if strength is born from heartbreak Then mountains I could move And if walls could speak I抎 pray That they would tell me what to do If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I抣l forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives, All keep me coming back to you. No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame We know the way but can抰 remember, conception to the grave Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I抣l forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives, All keep me coming back to you. The drones all slave away They抮e working overtime They serve a faceless queen They never question why Disciples of a god That neither lives nor breathes (I won抰 come back!) But we have bills to pay, Yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won抰 come back!) I won抰 come back! And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I抣l forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives, All keep me coming back to you. all keep me coming back to you...
