Fool Lyrics by Zalinki

When Death Was Mine

2024

[Chorus]
How could this happen to us?
The push and tug of your trust
The curtain's closed
The door's been shut
You're tossing stones
Kicking up dust
You caught a taste of my blood and scent
I'm playing the fool again
I'm playing the fool again

{Instrumental with Vocalizing}

[Verse]
What's not to love about me being obtuse
Am I gullible enough to take a walk in your shoes
The way you strut with a bluff
The way you act so aloof
You wear your stupid like a 3-piece suit
As if the necktie's a noose
You'd dance on air for a bet
Two can play at that game so I'm eager to bat
I'm good for panic attacks I'll even write you a cheque
I'm used to balancing acts up to my neck

Like "oops"
Uh oh

[Chorus]
How could this happen to us?
The push and tug of your trust
The curtain's closed
The door's been shut
You're tossing stones
Kicking up dust
You caught a taste of my blood and scent
I'm playing the fool uh oh again
I'm playing the fool uh oh again

[Verse]
I keep it pinned to my chest
And the truth is
That as the older you get
They're more indifferent to you
The less they act all impressed
They'll find all sorts of new ways to get inside of your head

So keep your mouth shut
Corner your bread
They'll drag you straight out of bed

[Chorus]
I'm playing the fool again
I'm playing the fo-

[Chorus 2]
Oh, all the familiar places
I got time and I'm choosing to waste it
Might try a few drinks and get faded
Nothing new though let's face it
Might die before I ever get famous
I'm dog tired can I get a replacement
Please
Oh please

Ooh, all the familiar places
I got time and I'm choosing to waste it
Might try a few drinks and get faded
Nothing new though let's face it
Might die before I've said my piece
I'm dog tired can I get some sleep
Between you and me if it's alright
I'm not staying

{Instrumental}

[Outro]
I've been out of my head lately
There's no excuse for loose lips and chewed up pens
Keep my jaw wired shut and dance till they hate me
I'm playing the fool again

I'm playing the fool again
I'm playing the fool again

I'm playing the fooool again
