Foolish Hearts
You think your mind rules your thoughts when you find your lost at heart and part is feeliní societies grasp on the situationÖsit impatiently waitiní for your lips to read the scriptÖthis mystery will trip up your words, lift up your skirt, till I mistrust a nerve, learn again why I canít discuss what hurts without fist-cuffs reverbÖIím tired of diving face first into a trap I set for myselfÖget sore, try helpÖin the end another discourse I fell intoÖRemorse, why dwell on truth when truth sells to you fellow realms of views used to mellow moodsÖI can tell its due, listen up and experience futures wellness choose sutures to settle soon enough and ruin trust, while no one meddles through the dustÖ
There is time, to tell all your storiesÖ
There is mind to wind all the lines for gloryÖ
When they meet, you will see before me,
If you please, you can always start conformingÖ
Never did I see it, Itís better I believe itÖ
For itís eatiní at my soul, the hole bled until this eveningÖ
Even though itís cold now, reason shows this whole while-
It was teasing with receiviní, being lone with no smileÖ
Slow downÖtake a breathÖmake a step-
In the right directionÖlife correction, wait a secÖ
Like a lesson they protectÖ
All the might protestiní stays in checkÖsave the blessings-
Letís bring it to a close, dwa sing this you will know-
Who will growÖlike a king who moved the throneÖ
Clinginí to a bone dogÖput the pro in proteinÖ
Bury truth the bestÖyet you donít see-
What youíve becomeÖtrouble, you will runÖ
On the double love ya muzzleÖcool it hunÖ
Youíre wistfully callousÖthis will be maliceÖ
Get the gist and be salvaged so take a sip from the chaliceÖ
There is time, to tell all your storiesÖ
There is mind to wind all the lines for gloryÖ
When they meet, you will see before me,
If you please, you can always start conformingÖ
