whoops words
KIS keep in mind what I’m saying
Simple is the key think about this
Going crazy for power words to say
Something to spark some attention
If only there was a book of all the possibilities
You could memorize and beat the competition
Complications in a very short life
Don’t make it easier to sleep at night
Never seem to shine much light
Never help things turn out right
Trying to solve the problems of other people
Can put you in a bad position
Like you don’t have enough of your own
Walk away stay out of the middle
And KIS yes keep it simple
Free up a little and remember this
Break
Less is more you’ve heard this before
But it’s hard to apply to living
Don’t expect so much from the dues you been paying
Keep in mind just what I’m saying
Every day we see shiny nice
Things in other people’s lives
But are you sure you want to complicate my friend
Do you really think it’s easy for them
Pick up your money and walk away
Only a fool stays too long at the table
Pay attention to the voice that’s whispering
Don’t keep betting gainst the odds of losing
Just KIS as simple as your own existence
Just keep breathing and remember this
Break
When in doubt just leave it out
The more you write the less gets heard
Some people are so full of words they have to spew em out
Until you can’t remember what was said
Forget about the meaning of life
Stop worrying about hell and heaven
Be true to yourself be the best you can be
Search within for peace and self liberty
A mind full of swirling thought won’t help you along
All your possessions won’t free you for long
It’s simple to die when it comes that day
And I guess that’s all I have to say
Except KIS free up and find a new beginning
Keep in mind just what I’m saying
Break
That’s all I’m saying

@StoneFlowers I like the energy this has. Sounds like the singer believes what he saying too
It could probably use some differing sections in it so that it's not the same all the way through.
I always thought it was K.i.s.s0 -
Hey thanks for listening and your comments y'all.
@Domd You're right I've seen it mean, keep it simple salesperson, and, keep it simple stupid. But in this song I just wanted to...keep it simple.

I love that chorus structure:
Just KIS something...
...something and remember this
with the rhyme at the start and end. I don't remember seeing that before, and it works a treat for you here.
The verses blurred a little for me afterwards, I didn't recall specific lines there, but they all felt natural as I was listening. The exception was:
It’s simple to die when it comes that day
that one got my attention! And putting it near the end of the song seems very appropriate!
Good stuff!

Hey thanks buddy. Coming from an accomplished musician like yourself that's a pretty big compliment. I spent quite a few years in the Millbrook out to Slapout area where my ex wife is from. Love it down there but jeez just to hot.

How's winter? Cold wet and rainy! Suits my name! Got a few days of heavy rain at the moment and the fire going most days as well as nights. But better than a drought!

@StoneFlowers Cool song. I think my favorite line is 'just keep breathing'; the simplest thing one can do (at least a healthy person).
K.I.S.S (I might've used the full acronym) but that's just me. But that would change everything.
