Simple Song of Sin

Light is fading
Winter is calling
Summer is falling down
Autumn shape my senses sharp
Like a feeling
All of the people
All that is painful now
And it's making this so hard
What if the song I'm singing
Just pretends
Wrapped around the finger
Of contempt
But I'm gonna change my tune
The shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You darling dig it, just noise
A simple song of sin
All the baseline
Leads to a lifetime
Looks well in hindsight but
Struggles in the present tense
Eyes wide open
All that you see can be hard
To carry it through
Into imagination
Shadows growin' taller
Every night
Self-affliction smaller
And uptight
But I'm gonna drop the clue
The shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You darlin' dig in, just noise
A simple song of sin
When you're restless and easily upset
It's hard to forget to remember to forget
What if the song you're singing
Just pretends
It's not even beginning
And it never ends
But I'm gonna change my tune
The shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You darling dig it, just noise
A simple song of sin
But I'm gonna drop the clue
The shtick is wearin' thin
It's my voice
You darlin' dig in, just noise
A simple song of sin
But I'm gonna drop the clue
