Shins For A Fool
Young and bright
but now just a dim light
off in the distance,
a fallen stone
following the path
of least resistance.
If I still fight,
it’s just that I’m
afraid I’ll slide under that spell again.
Take him for a fool.
Yes, I was,
because I was fool.
Tell me what you’d do.
Lost my way
in spades.
I need a school.
So many times
caught up in my head at night
with a leash and label.
If I can learn
anything from this
then I’d be like
the fox in the fable, oh right.
If I still fight,
it’s just that I’m
afraid I’ll slide under that spell again.
The way we used to carry on,
you’re stuck in my head like a terrible song.
Take him for a fool.
Yes, I was,
and I was fool.
Following their rules,
guess I wasn’t very honest too.
Take him for a fool.
(Take him for a fool.)
Yes, I was,
because I was fool.
Take him for a fool.
