Simple Pages

Simple pages fall from the tree,
And lay my memories to rest like falling blossoms.

I burn your pictures, as your memoirs fade away,
I kneel all alone in my room as my skin kiss flames.

Chorus
I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold.
I cannot take the memories of us no more.

Verse 2
Sounds of laughter echo down the hall.
The sounds of my voice a stranger that can't be destroyed.

It crackles and crumbles, my flesh up in smoke.
Praying for solace this trauma can't be revoked.

Chorus
And I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold.
I cannot take the memories of us any more.

Bridge
Simple pages come down and rescue me.
So cold in your arms. Not even the flames can set me free -

You break me down. You bring me down.
You tear the pieces and light the flame.
My ashes will remain.

Verse 3
Why would you always show me how I was destined to fail?
You bring me down.
You never wanted to see me succeed, you held my head beneath the sand.
You held me down.

Was always the first to laugh when things didn't work as planned.
You tear me down.
Always made me feel worthless so you'd have the upperhand.
You wear me down!

But these Simple Pages, they fall from the tree.
And they put to rest all your simple memories.
I burn your pictures as your memoirs melt away.
I kneel alone in my room as my skin kiss flames.

Chorus
But I cannot wait for you all alone in the cold.
I cannot take the memories of you any more.
