The Guilt of Living Simple (In a Complicated Age)

I wake up with the sun because that's how it's done
Stumble out of bed
Shake my body about, start figuring out
What went on last night in my head
In dreams I'm often terrified by actual things
And my waking world's a nightmare from which I rarely wake
The Guilt of Living Simple
(In a complicated age)

I work hard when I need to, I get things done
Sometimes, done ain't always enough
I lose track of where I'm at in a temporal sense
And all the work starts to stack up
I hold no reservations to holding concentration
Just sometimes being idle is my biggest temptation
The Guilt of Living Simple
(In a complicated age)

I let sounds swell around me then make some of my own
I've never been the quiet type
I battle with space 'til the shape of my face
Inherits a weary kind
Guilt is inescapable as well as regret
But I'll keep on steppin' lightly on a heavenward path
