lyrics

Fool’s Run

Well find your shelter,
mind your head
a bomb goes off tonight
Well this storm
it’s overdue
and it’s never felt so right
I’ve been silent,
held my tongue
well oh for far too long
now this fire
it’s burning angry,
guess I’m moving on

Well when I was young
and well behaved
I couldn’t see
you stood in my way
of fighting for my cause

I could push and
I could scream
carry round your deeds with me
but I’d rather sing a different song

Were you lazy?
Was it pride?
Or were you scared to swim?
I guess it’s easy
coasting on
another sailor’s wind
Now I’m weathered,
bow and stern
oh the boards,
seasoned by that salt
I'll carry no more stowaways,
I’ll sink at my own fault

Well an empty helm
and reckless waves
make for lost
and aimless ways
for which I haven't the time

I could push and
I could scream
carry round your deeds with me
but I’d rather sing a different song

‘cause it’s a fool’s run
to stay in this game of chasing tails

So take your problems,
take you grudges
and don’t pin them on me
I can only help myself
and I don’t hold your key

I could push and
I could scream
carry round your deeds with me
but I’d rather sing a different,
sing a different,
sing a different song
