Foolish

Foolishness spewing through cracks in the surface of my flesh
I've gone violet, I've gone violent
The sky’s on fire, blotting out the sun
There’s just a cloud of rage and it burns my eyes

So I will bite my tongue, tame these emotions
(A bitter taste on my teeth from bitter words on my lips)
I will shut my mouth, I swear I've done enough
(My voice volcanic, erupting with burning vitriol)

I can't believe I let this happen again
Buried in ashes of consequence
I'm ashamed but sorry is never enough
So I'll sing the same song I've always sung

So I will bite my tongue, tame these emotions
(A bitter taste on my teeth from bitter words on my lips)
I will shut my mouth, I swear I've done enough
(My voice volcanic, erupting with burning vitriol)

Even foolish men are wise when they learn to keep quiet

So I will bite my tongue, tame these emotions
(A bitter taste on my teeth from bitter words on my lips)
I will shut my mouth, I swear I've done enough
(My voice volcanic, erupting with burning vitriol)

I've gone violet, I've gone violent
