Complex Simplicity
Going off on the entire world
This wrath will soon surely unfurl
Take a stab at people’s lives
Make them feel what it’s like to cry
Now you’ve gone and messed with it
Tortured it, oh bit by bit
Someday, you’ll feel that all those things done wrong…
Are part of a simple understanding
(Simple understanding)
Inside a complex mesh of hurtful situations
(Hurtful situations)
This complex simplicity, why’s it so hard.
To just come out and find the reason
That this entire time has been a horrible season
The gossiping and all the talk
The conversations never seem to lock…
All the false accusations
Are results of the situations
Someday, you’ll feel that all those things done wrong…
Who knows where this will lead
To some sort of rational deed
Or maybe the problem gets worse
Some sort of cynical curse
Just leave and let it be
Buried away; never to be seen
