For A Fool Lyrics

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.
