Simmer Down
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
