lyrics

Walk away from everything that ever was anything.
My... Oh my.
The boy is so wrecklessly, aimlessly, witnessing.
My... Oh my.

You didn't wanna stay, so I stayed away.
In the ground we will lay, with panelled wood on our frames.
With only our lies as company in our graves.
The looks in our eyes, so simple and plain.

Simple and plain.
As I'd wanna be, without you.
Simple and plain.
As the sky is seen, in a clear view.
Simple and plain.
As I'd wanna be... Oh I wanna be.
So leave me be...
Leave me to be...

Ever so happily living in fallacy.
My... Oh my.
The boy is so happening he flies with no fastening.
My... Oh my.

Under these stones, we slumber alone.
Nobody knows, what I've grown to know.
The Nobodies told me, "Work flesh to the bone."
Simple and plain, with stitches to show.

Simple and plain.
As I'd wanna be, without you.
Simple and plain.
As the sky is seen, in a clear view.
Simple and plain.
As I'd wanna be... Oh I wanna be.
So leave me be...
Leave me to be...
Simple and plain.
