Lyrics

The moment I realized
I’ve been lying to myself
Nothing civilized
About being a fool in denial
A simple life ain’t no real life

I’ve replayed it all forward and backward
But it always ends up just the same
Nothing more than going through the motions
But expecting it’s all going to change
The surface water keeping still
Until the waves come crashing into the calm

It’s still good to be a lion
Even if you don’t get to wear stripes
It’s so trivial
Trudge your own path and watch them run
Keep on searching for meaning is the reason for being
You’re either adapting or you’re dying
The jungle ain’t forgiving
Got to hold your own to survive
A simple life, ain’t no real life

REPEAT CHORUS
