about

'Simple Lives' is about reversing the steps people take towards a more complex life, one that ends up being regretted and misguided. The people who live simple lives are humble, don't find gossip in the grain, and take time to enjoy watching a bird fluttering about or the sun setting. When you take moments out of your day to enjoy the simple things, your perception naturally shifts to what is, instead of what could be.

lyrics

Grown apart from the womb
Made into a sparrow of flight
Hovering down from the setting sky
Towards home and warm invites...nights

I recall a man who played violin
Ten feet down from the ledges end
Sweetly and gently about my head
Til a sunset or moonrise was all that's left

Such simple minds
In these simple times
Only fear is on the outside
Of your simple life

From these depths, clearly lost a few steps
I've gave into shame and I'm hoarding the rain
Gossip is a fever that I cannot maintain
Humble is a teacher, a lesson in refrain
