simplicity
just a simple girl
with simple dreams
on top of a world
so simple it seems
but this world is dark
and defeat does rest
in the cavity
of every young girl’s chest
just a simple day
and a simple smile
everything so simple
she thought for a while
then came the dawning
of an age of truth
when she had to grow up
and forget her youth
a simple age
with a simple goal
get out of hell
and go back home
but the simplest part
it seemed to be
was running from
those simple dreams
once upon a time
she knew who she’d be
but now that she’s there
she cannot see
it was once so simple
all was right
but simply went to bed
and grew up that night
