Simplify

Wes King


Should have talked it over 
Should have thought it through 
I think I might have bit off 
A little more than I could chew 
Well, I have got to get out 
From underneath this weight 
Or it's gonna kill me 

But the shining of the silver 
The glimmer of the gold 
Kept giving me a fever 
But left me feeling cold 
I'm right back in the middle 
And if I don't come out soon 
Come in and get me 

'Cause I keep slaying all these dragons 
But more keep coming 
And I keep praying for this fight to end 
Uh, oh, here I go 
Wading through a lot of stuff you know 
Juggling it all while I'm balancing on a wire 
Slow down, I have found 
Seems that every time I turn around 
Got one foot in the muck and another foot in the mire 
Well, I'm scaling down, pulling back 
Got to try 
To simplify 

I put my golden ring on 
Unseen I went down where 
War and peace collided 
Inside the dragon's lair 
When pleasure is your master 
Convenience is your kind 
Your heart's divided 

I keep weighing 
All these options 
More keep a coming 
I keep straying 
From the way I'm told
