Simmer Down

Story by Brex on SoFurry

A song I wrote for my cousin. The way she sang it is beautiful. I wrote it for a dear friend that I lost to unfortunate circumstances.


When everything's burned to the ground

When everyone's voice has no sound

When every last thing's fallen down

Let it simmer down

And when no more words can be said

And all the blood's gone to my head

When everything's burned to the ground

Let it simmer down

Let it simmer down

Just let it simmer down

Everything ends, even our friends

Crashing and all falling down

Wasting away, day after day

And into our sorrows we drown

'Cause I stoked the fire, and invoked your ire

and now I am paying the price

But maybe you'll see that we are to be

With one final roll of the dice

Before you say your goodbyes

Before everything we had dies

I want to look into your eyes

And simmer down
