The Foolsong

In this bottled loneliness oh, I'm staring on the inside I've
Found to be too much of a fuss for myself
It's harder than you think, gets easier each time to slip
Who would've thought it would come down to this

But where's the light that could keep you
From falling for the same sins, might be
Commonplace but you don't know
How to get out of all this

Oh, don't sweat it or overthink it
No in-between at all
A man of excess, what a pretentious fool

Heartbroken melody might just chase away the pain
It's all right, it's all right they say
No one in your shoes, oh no one knows your pain
It's all right, it's all right they say
What a fool I've become for having you here

Run and lock your doors, run and keep away child
Try not to come too close, don't give in for this play
Don't feed the thoughts that seize
Oh shut your heart and just breathe
Promise me you won't try anything that could
Get you near

But a heartbroken melody might just chase away the pain
It's all right, it's all right they say
No one in your shoes, oh no one knows your pain
It's all right, it's all right they say
What a fool I've become for having you here
