The Simplest Words - Coming Soon

I first met jimmy when i was only three

my daddy put it in my bottle to help me sleep

he laid his little boy so gently upon the bed

this will ease the demons son, that scream inside your head

    and through these twisted eyes 

    I see the life that i have left before me

    I struggle for the simplest words

    the faces that i’ve passed they cry,

    I listen as they sit in silence

    the final drop i’ve never heard

I watch the man watching me through future’s eyes

forgotten promises are now forgotten lies

before you let me down again just tell me why

my blood is poison and my soul has been denied

    the daylight never seems to last

    i enter darkened states alone

    why did you let me go

    and now i realize the roads i’ve taken

    were not followed, i chose them on my own

    i chose them on my own
