A Simple Melody Lyrics

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
