Fool

from Emerald AD 2021 by Emerald

lyrics

What do you follow?
Where do you run?
Truth can be hard to swallow
There’s many things under the sun

Why do you follow?
Why do you run?

Looking back - I was nowhere
Seeking ahead and I’m there
Always run late to the hands of my fate
How the hell is this all even fair?

Searching for a loophole
The watch that never gets wound
Try to hide in the shadows
No matter, you’ll always be found

Why do you follow?
Why do you run?
The reason you’re hollow
Your Internal prison

Conceding our station at the mercy of the hourglass
Drawn out in a line - you found your place upon the sand
Convincing ourselves we get the power to overrule
Time and again, time takes us for a fool

Cutting against the grain
Walk into the wind
What you can find to comfort your mind?
The calendar beats you again

Why do you follow?
Why do you run?
The truth is tomorrow
It’s not even begun

Trying to run yourself under the sun
As the wheel spins you aside
Make a clear path to nowhere fast
Finally your eyes open wide
Reel in the last of your last days as if they were thread upon a spool
Time and again, time takes us for a fool

solo

Race against the hourglass
Lighting the end of the fuse
Distance yourself from the chains of your past
Myriad outcomes to choose

Memories turning blurry
You try to remember that song
Write it on down in a hurry
And find that you got it all wrong

Why do you follow?
Why do you run?
It's nearly tomorrow..
and what have you done??
What have you done??
