It's just a simple melody for a complicated situation
A long slow deep breath for a long awaited revelation
A simple chord gives us hope against hate, tragedy
I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep I couldn't couldn't sip my tea
I was feeling taken advantage and forgotten
On the dark the side of the land of liberty and shining sea
It's just a simple melody for a complicated situation
A slow deep breath for a long awaited revelation
We are all legends now the storm has broken up the bow
Crashing lies like the sea on to all our the little dreams
Consequences or the truth broken system broken tooth
To the point of no return crash the ship before it burns
Craft a thought craft a mind we moved too slowly up the vine
Give a voice give a care give your youth if you dare
We've really gone and done it now all the fakes became devout
Broken treaties broken tongues wild fires in our lungs
It's just a simple melody for a complicated situation
A long slow deep breath for a revelation
Sometimes I feel like a mayfly only alive for a couple of hours
Sometimes I steal like I might die, impermanent with no super powers
We've been burning
We've been entertained
We've been debunked
We killed for fame
In the end the when the credits role
I fear for the story that we will have told
It's just a simple melody for a complicated situation A long slow deep breath for a revelation
A cup of tea would help with this crazy pageantry All your life for all to see no more sacred privacy
The ringing sound never fails to let you down
It's just a simple melody for a complicated situation
A long slow deep breath for a long awaited revelation
