There's demons in the trees
Come and rescue me
It's a simple town; where the face becomes a veil
Where the eyes become a jail;
For the settlers minds to pale
It's just a simple town
Where the secrets drown
Before they get around
But tonight they have been found
With the words come shatter out your mouth
You made a thundercloud come and rain on me
Under a simple sky in a simple town
You made a knife of sound, cut the air for me
Cut the secrets free
It's a simple town, just a simple town
But that simple choked
The life right out of me
Cause simple things
Aren't so simple anymore
Death is easy to ignore
When it's numbers on a screen
And that simple town
It likes a simple war; chooses red or blue
The rest can be ignored
While the secrets wait; on tortured lips
Till they're moved to sing; with the passion of a kiss
And there's the words...
It's a simple town; with a lonely sound There's demons in the trees Come and rescue me It's a simple town; where the face becomes a veil Where the eyes become a jail; For the settlers minds to pale It's just a simple town Where the secrets drown Before they get around But tonight they have been found With the words come shatter out your mouth You made a thundercloud come and rain on me Under a simple sky in a simple town You made a knife of sound, cut the air for me Cut the secrets free It's a simple town, just a simple town But that simple choked The life right out of me Cause simple things Aren't so simple anymore Death is easy to ignore When it's numbers on a screen And that simple town It likes a simple war; chooses red or blue The rest can be ignored While the secrets wait; on tortured lips Till they're moved to sing; with the passion of a kiss And there's the words...
