Simple

from Half Life by Wilton Said...

/

lyrics

I open my eyes
Today's the day I realize
Time is passing by
It's time to live the simple life

Time to live without restraint
Time to push the pain away
Time to live without regret
Time to live to live to live

There was a time when my world was shattered
When I always thought the worst
The little things they used to twist and turn me
Making my life so unreal

I didn't see what was happening,
drive away
My mind was consumed
With the worst
Case scenario I was lost
Kill me now

Watch and wait for catastrophe
Always holding me back
The mountains dwarf me two feet tall
I can't go on like that

I was alone in this fight
Pulling me into despair
Angry and seething of the loss
Compromise my guard once again

I couldn't understand why it didn't come together
I tried to show; I tried to force, to exact my will on you
Only a matter of time until you left me standing bare
And in my hazy thoughts, I see my problem and the truth

Now I see the....
Now I see the....
Now I see the....
Now I see the truth

A little tension now and then
I get through it in the end
Now with my new found sense of being
Nothing comes in-between
the calm
There are times which test me hard
But I remember just how far
I've come before this time , now
Nothing comes in-between
My calm

Rolling off my mind
Shaking off the doubt

Rolling off my mind
Shaking off the doubt
Rolling off my mind
Free

No longer wait for catastrophe
No longer holding me back
No mountains to dwarf me two feet high
I will go on and on
But every now and then I feel
That doubt seeping it's way in
And all I have to do is remember
To feel back into my past

I didn't see what was happening,
drive away
My mind was consumed
With the worst
Case scenario I was lost
Kill me now

Through the years that I look back
And see my lonely self
I thought I was complete I thought I was so sure,
I thought it was the only way to be
Then I realized I wasn't so sure

And Now I live the Simple Life
And Now I live the Simple Life
And Now I live the Simple Life
And Now I live the Simple Life

I open my eyes
Today's the day I realize
Time is passing by
It's time to live the simple life
