Fool Lyrics

Close your eyes, pretend you're somewhere else

That's what you get for keeping it inside

Every day it gets a little worse

You wasted every chance you got

You thought a diamond grew inside

Turns out it was just another stone

And cold, it drags you under

Sinking by your device to stay afloat

Reaching out as far as my arms go

I'll tell you I've got you but I know that I can't reach that far

You crane your neck around

I walked in to see you smile

And in the half a second when it goes

You try as quickly as you can

To come up with the fastest way to say

"Look out behind you"

But lo, the tide, it dragged me under

And only choking yelps were coming out

And all it takes to make the noise that we're used to

Takes you to realize there is nothing you can do

Close your eyes, pretend you're somewhere else

You feel this time it's not the same

And when you think that things have finally changed

You realize what a fool you've been

And just like your father to ask your forgiveness

And just like the monster to bait your affection

Just like your mother to slip through your memory

Our paths are decided from miles and miles away

What does your heart do when I am near you?

Does it remember what other hearts sound like?

Pounding and gushing, a venom, a poison

It's lethal, it's fatal, and still you will trust it as a cure
