The Fool

Darker days, screen brightness is high,
I felt it burning my retina
I spent the summer looking down an iron sight
Spitting up blood in the comfort of my room
Fool, I never tool pride
Fool, I felt pain the whole time
Fool, You made your mistake
Fool, Relieve yourself of hate
You Fool... oh oh
You fool ...
You fool.. oh oh
You fool oh oh.....

Verse 1:
"The sun comes up, I'm still filled with sin
I haven't gone to sleep yet
Believe me, I've tried everything
I've taken a sip and inhaled from this glass
Verse 2:
The ghost of the past, is probably haunting me
Intentions of preventing, the regeneration,
Of dying cells, the ones inside of me, throb like the memories keeping me awake
Chorus:
I feel like this is all the suns fault
Give me back the moon, I don't want.
Everything is timed, I don't mind.
Running a little late sometimes..
Bridge:
Oh oh oooh
The Sun comes up, Oh oh oh oh
Chorus:
I feel like this is all the suns fault
Give me back the moon, I don't want.
Everything is timed, I don't mind.
Running a little late sometimes..
Pre/Post Chorus:
But I'm so tired I just want...
A little rest for my eyes and soul
Because the work day is so long
Is there any time for me?
Chorus:
I feel like this is all the suns.. fault
Give me back the moon, I don't want.
Everything is timed, I don't mind.
Running a little late sometimes..
Pre/Post Chorus:
But I'm so tired I just want...
A little rest for my eyes and soul
Because the work day is so long
Is there any time for me?"

Verse 1:
"Breakthroughs, on late nights
Take two, a little more than 5
Hate me, if it makes you feel alright
Smoke filled rooms, whatever's, the cost to become
Dreamer, will you wake me from mt sleep?
Chorus:
Give me space, to rest my head,(oh oh woah)
For the years, that I slepwalked, knowing nothing (oh ho oh)
Was I wrong Oh in thinking I lost anything at all
Post Chorus:
(I lost myself along the way, in search of you)
(I lost myself along the way)
Oh oh, oh oh....
Verse 2:
Hours, spent feeding you
Powdered wig, it rests on your head
But so do, the sins of your peers
Cocaine blues, whatever's lost to become
Sleeper will you zap me back to bed?
Chorus:
Give me space, to rest my head,(oh oh woah)
For the years, that I slepwalked, knowing nothing (oh ho oh)
Was I wrong?! Oh in thinking I lost anything at all!
Post Chorus:
(I lost myself along the way, in search of you)
(I looked so long.. the way.... in search of you..)
Some ooh's and ah's...."

"Thoughts that run through my head
Give me a break, on the in between
I say so many things, why?.. I don't know many things
Pre Chorus:
Oh just take your hand put in mine
I don't know
Chorus:
Just give me the sings, I'm so lost without, lost without high
Just give me the signs, I'm so lost without, lost without, I
Verse 2:
I take so many things, wrong
Oh especially,
When I have so many things in my head,
Why so many things?
Pre Chorus:
Oh just take your hand, put it in mine ( Oh oh oh)
Oh just take my hand put it in yours, so in love
Chorus:
Just give me the signs, I'm so lost without, lost without a high/hi
Just give me the signs, I'm so lost without, lost without high
Bridge/Verse:
When I open up my mouth, I put a cigarette, out in my eye
I'm no stranger to the things that make me who I am
Oh just take my plans there not for me, not for me, (oh oh oh)
So just take my hand put it in yours, so in love
Chorus:
Just give me the signs, I'm so lost without, so lost without a high
Just give me the signs, I'm so lost without, lost without a high
Outro/Pre:
So just take your hand, while I put my foot in my mouth
For the second time. for the hundredth time, for the thousandth time; So in love..."

"I saw a flower
It grew from the road
I need the power
To tell you no
I knew that town
Like the back of my hand
Just like that girl
She'd haunt me in my dreams
I need the power, to sail away
I need the power, to never look back again
I need the power, to forgive and forget
Look at me now- barely a man
I miss the sour- taste on my lips
What am I now? Just a witness... oh oh..."

"Searching, I'll never find, I'll never find you.
I will look until my eyes fall out
A thousand years and I'm still intact
I will float forever
Far away, open arms calm before the storm
Catch my break awake during my sleep
Cigarettes, fire in our eyes
No one can count what I've lost
I scrubbed the details from my brain
For years I tried, to wash away the pain
That memory of you is all that I have left
I hope that we can forgive and forget
(Some things are better-left unsaid) [2nd time]
Cast away, on a ship bound to crash
Jagged rocks they're fucking up my life
I forgot why I'm at sea
Fighting trying to hold my breath
Who...? All I know... all I know..."

Verse 1:
"I've walked away, from things, that made me feel
I revert back to the person I once was
We walked into that night with no inhibition
An empty jug we drank from a source of provender
Verse 2:
Look into, the bottom of this empty glass
Hold back your hair and the lingering scent of petrichor
Safe from the cold, body warmth, thought to portend
Holding hands, embracing lips, instead was not
{Instrumental bridge/Pre-Chorus}
Chrorus:
You poured your guts to the chime of leaves,
And in that moment I realized there's nothing left for, you, or me
You took my hand and made me believe,
Just to have that faith ripped up and destroyed right before my eyes-
All I needed was a drink, instead I got the, entire fucking sea, between the two of us
Verse 3:
Bring back the nights long awaited,
Bring back the fights we never got to finish
I wonder if our questions ever got answered-
No..probably not-
Were we headed in the right direction?? Oh oh oh ooohh....
{Instrumental bridge Pre-Chorus}
Chorus/Outro:
You poured your guts to the chime of leaves,
And in that moment I realized there's nothing left for, you, or me
You took my hand and made me believe,
Just to have that faith ripped up and destroyed right before my eyes-
All I needed was a drink, instead I got the, entire fucking sea, between the two of us..."
