Fool & The Thief

(I'll be the fool, yeah, I'll be the thief)

Didn't know there was a frontline till I had to face

Twenty thousand friends who just looked the other way

When I cut off my armour

They don't act the same

I just keep my head up, used to empty space

A holster for my cheap wine to try to keep me safe

Protect me from my own mind

Cause it keeps me wide awake

I've grown faithless

I can't fake it

So call my bluff yeah call me out

I'll be dead by the night

If I don't get it right on the first time

I can barely survive

If I don't try to run on the highline

So I'll be the fool yeah I'll be the thief

I'll be the ghost just to get what I need

Heavily fortified

So I dare you to give it your best try

This smile don't mean I'm fine

It's just my disguise

Laugh through gritted teeth

Good at faking that I'm fine

The mirror that I speak to

Has a thousand eyes

I get all the attention but they don't know the truth

Imposter in my heavy head tells me what to do

This 2am anxiety

Pumps a hole straight through my chest

I've grown faithless

I can't fake it

So call my bluff yeah call me out

I'll be dead by the night

If I don't get it right on the first time

I can barely survive

If I don't try to run on the highline

So I'll be the fool yeah I'll be the thief

I'll be the ghost just to get what I need

Heavily fortified

So I dare you to give it your best try

I'll be on the news

But you won't recognise my face

Cause I'll be someone new

Sipping on my gold champagne

Cause I'm sick of all your bullshit all your labels so psychotic

I should go and get some petrol fill my mouth up and go mental

I should run into a fire let you drown me with your choir

If I'll never win the race I'll just cut you from the wire
