Simple thoughts lay me to rest
I fight everything in me just to bring out the best
Anything I imagine becomes a test
Simple thoughts lay me to rest

Insanely surprised by what you see
Just take a look at my history
I breathe through my veins not my chest
As my blood flows east to west
Oh simple thoughts lay me to rest

Crippling past holds me back
It’s like growling wolves in a pack
Stuck in mud
Can’t seem to move
My past isn’t the best
Simple thoughts lay me to rest

These tears will fall down my face
Something I choose not to embrace
Tonight I’ll leave, won’t be a pest
So here I say lay me to rest,
“Simple thoughts lay me to rest. I’ve failed your challenge, couldn’t pass this test. It may seem I didn’t try very hard but maybe I was just dealt a different card. Dress me in my Sunday best, Oh simple thoughts lay me to rest.”
