Simmer Down

In this house you can let go of your lows
Untie your shoes and cut loose, all tight ropes

Eat my bread, drink my sweet ageless wine
Close your eyes, believe me, don't ask why

The fire burns, let it fight through the cold
The record spins, it tells your tale, untold
I know that you think you don't deserve
Anything, certainly not love

A tale, so familiar
The pale face of failure

Simmer down, all I need is your trust
Slowing down your pulse and its rush
Cause I've been here many times, so try and forget
Anything, that is not worth your strength

These walls are filled with old tales and small holes
Pictures used to hang here, now their gone
Their stories stayed, can you hear what they sing
A victim's blues, how someone lost something

A tale, so familiar
The pale face of failure
