lyrics

These days I slip away so easy easily
And though I fall fall fast
I am jolted from my sleep

Raise the curtains, shine the lights,
And tell the morning that you love it just as much as you
Love the night

But it's the same damn lies as previous previously,
That same fire that haunts me,
That old devil deviously

Blasts the glass out from the windows
And lets the wind come rushing in
Kills the heat
Kills the heat
Kills the heat

So I am reaching out for something I need
And though I lift my hands deliberately
There's a force that pushes back at me hissing,

"What a fool
What a fool
What a fool"

"What a fool
What a fool
What a fool
To fight it."

Well it must be time to flee the flee the scene
Started dropping bombs
Now I'm my own damn refugee

As if I could ever escape
Ever escape
Ever escape
From me

So I am looking to undo some deeds
And though I guide towards light deliberately
There's a poison that's released in me hissing,

"What a fool
What a fool
What a fool."

"What a fool
What a fool
What a fool
To fight it."
