Game of Fools

Don’t know how I’m bleeding

There’s no blood to my veins beating

So I’ve been splattered

History repeating

Over silly loves they’re fleeting

They don’t matter

Hmm maybe it’s because my appetite for love

Is ravenous and beyond measure

Never one to be stopped up

I feel it ’til I’m starved

And cry when it’s gone the morning after

When all I want is to give myself away

It only brings us pain when I do, when I do

What is left, but a silly game

And every time I play, I play the fool

Old and none the wiser

And though I’ve grown in size

I’ve still not mastered

The art of self-protection

Hindsight and early detection of disasters

And though I like to see beyond these fantasies

It never seems to be apparent

Yet somehow I still believe in what can’t be perceived

Still looking for that one thing that I am after

When all I want is to give myself away

It only brings us pain when I do, when I do

What is left, but a silly game

And every time I play, I play the fool (I play the fool)

When all I want is to give myself away

It only brings us pain when I do, when I do

What is left, but a silly game

And every time I play, I play the fool
