Foolish
Discordant but it's not my fault
If escorted off the property, I'm claiming assault
Scoff at what the law states. This space is ours
And I'm not leaving here until all of my snake oil's bought
Caught the falling star's remnants in medicine jars
So I can sell them to the lonely hearts at menacing costs
I know the audience well, and they will jump when at the offer
That they could buy a promised product that would lessen their losses
Drawbridge barrier. This lever brings the door down
Never have I ever welcomed anyone before now
The storm drain awaits the little paper boat I made
And the rain takes away from me much more than Mache
If you don't move to the beat, then I will shoot at your feet
It's true to say due to my karma I am doomed to repeat
The gloom that we speak about each week at our shrinks
Where each inkling of progress is obsolete

Foolish hearts sit back and wait for the world to happen
I'm here to inform we don't get down like that
I hate to be the downer but this downer has sense
The same sense that's gut wrenching also puts me ahead. I've learned
The grand scheme of things has no patience for your bullshit
If you have a trump card I recommend you pull it
The foolish give in without figuring out
How to conquer life's absurdities now
Our mediocre lifespan burns away too quickly
And this means I'll have to keep on moving 'til I'm sickly
Vis-à-vis to fitting ends I'm spitting what convicts me
To a burning at the stake but in proverbial speaking
Reaching out my hand knowing damn well someone will bite it
Freaking out because it's happened already and something like this
Can decimate trust and expedite acrimony
Let the bad blood trickle down my wrist into it's own sea

Bring a life preserver
