Lyrics

Simplify

I simplify

The reason why

And when I miss I slip the abyss

The sort of tale

Dripped into pale

The distance fade in the imprints

Bliss binge

Saying nonsense

Went on and on

The wrong attitude

Recompense messed up again

How can I make it up to you

Hail, hail

The rest to feel

The sentence making a difference

Expose the highs and lows

Get all from that which I know

The risk of life (Simplify my life)

Is to clear our time away (In time away)

We fill up our minds (We fill our minds)

Just like our day (Just like our day)

This moment is a gift (Moment's a gift)

That’s why its called the present (Called the present)

In routine we drift (In routine we drift)

Our time is spent (Our time is spent)

I simplify

What didn’t apply

It could have taken forever

I wanna try

To liberate life

Later’s better than never

Vacate no destination

I rode from home

Setting out all alone

This is my uncluttered life

If not now, then why

All in

The way to win

He told me to try it again

Who knew it was up to you

I guess I’ll just give it a spin

The risk of life (Simplify my life)

Is to clear our time away (In time away)

We fill up our minds (We fill our minds)

Just like our day (Just like our day)

This moment is a gift (Moment's a gift)

That’s why its called the present (Called the present)

In routine we drift (In routine we drift)

Our time is spent (Our time is spent)

The risk of life (Simplify my life)

Is to clear our time away (In time away)

We fill up our minds (We fill our minds)

Just like our day (Just like our day)

This moment is a gift (Moments a gift)

That’s why its called the present (Called the present)

In routine we drift (In routine we drift)

Our time is spent (Our time is spent)
