lyrics

I unlocked the gate and found a tunnel
Nothing followed me I saw no light at the end
And throughout that long and winding tunnel
Every sound and colour seemed to vanish and then

Suddenly I felt another presence
Warmth embracing me and I was breathing again
Blinding lights and visions from my lifetime
Danced before my eyes until I started to mend

My Simple Life was a game I tried to master and I learned
My simple life was better off before my bridges burned
For when I knew the only path to take was to your heart
That tragic love was doomed to tear my simple mind apart

I began to grasp my limitations
Better men than me had lived out my dreams again
Learning how to cope with my surroundings
Always troubled me and I was further from zen

Digging deep inside I thought I found you
Drugged and insecure like me and needing a friend
But the facts could never be that simple
Truth be told my life was just beginning to end

My Simple Life was a game I tried to master and I learned
My simple life was better off before my bridges burned
For when I knew the only path to take was to your heart
That tragic love was doomed to tear my simple mind apart
