Only A Fool Would Know

How to free fall into a stone wall
How to dance naked for all in the fire
How to sing songs of death in a marriage choir
Only a fool would know

How to run from the pain of what he inflicted
How to joke with the king without being restricted
How to stab his own heart and then pull it apart
Only a fool would know

How to hold to his secrets in fearful places
How to hide his sorrow from jeering faces
How to mimic the shadows in steps he traces
Only a fool would know

There isn't much to him but deep introspection
There's no need to make known any more
Drunk on the pain of those who reject him
Smile and wink shake his hand close the door

How to dazzle your eyes with a trick or two
How to live with the lies of a life he once knew
How to battle the gales with those holes in his sails
Only a fool would know

How to scare all the priests that would banish him
How to dare all the preachers that lash at him
How to love all the liars that respected him
Only a fool would know

How he gifts you a rose though his heart grows rot
How he lifts up cold eyes though his spirit is hot
How he made you believe he was something he's not
Only a fool would know
Only a fool would know
