Jester's Lullaby

And there I stood
Watching, like a fool
Waving goodbye
To the wind
As it pulled you away

(Poor thing)

Which mask am I going to wear today?
My dear master once had stated
"All the world's a stage"
And we are the actors

So I've consciously decided to become the jester
Pleasing the King and the Queen
This way nobody can see
The river flowing from behind that face
Of a fool
The painted face
Of a fool

They won't get to taste a single, salty drop
Of my real molecules

But, hey... It's okay
I am glad I can hide behind this silly attitude

I'm even friends with the fish
I am friends with the fish
That flow from my cheeks

Flow from my cheeks
The narrow creeks
Flow from my cheeks
My rocky cliffs

Flow from my cheeks
My rocky cliffs
Flow from my cheeks
The narrow creeks

There will be no more jokes
For the guests tonight
To peaceful slumber, I wish to surrender
And dance in my realm
Where I can be free
My eyes, I close
