Simple Pleasures

You've been huntin' round for treasure
Find it all in the simple pleasures
I don't understand this life you lead

Tryna be somebody else and
And tryna be the one's who help
Wanna find the one who helps you breathe

Maybe it's all a big mistake
And you live on all you take
From the lives that
Have always been close

I've been roaming around for hours
Singing all your songs of praise
How on earth can I complain?
How in hell can I be safe
From this sudden fear of change
This sudden fear is strange

Tryna understand your ways
You hide them with convulsive rage
You tried to be the best you could be

People finding the most pleasure
All within the smallest treasures
This don't seem possible to me

And maybe it's all that you've done wrong
So just bite your silver tongue
That you lied with
Lied to yourself

I've been roaming around for hours
Singing all your songs of praise
How on earth can I complain?
How in hell can I be safe
From this sudden fear of change
This sudden fear is strange

You've been huntin' round for treasure
Find it all in the simple pleasures
I don't understand this life you lead

Maybe it's all a big mistake
And you live on all you take
From the lives that
Have always been close
I've been roaming around for hours
Singing all your songs while

Standing at the edge about to fall
Faces crushed against the wall
The sudden fear of singing all your songs of
Staring into space I hear the sound
From a voice that's never found
The sudden fear is strange

But maybe it's all a big mistake
And you live on all you take
From the lives that, have always been close
I've been roaming around for hours
Singing all your songs of praise

How on earth can I complain?
How in hell can I be safe
This sudden fear is strange
This sudden fear of change
