lyrics

AS ALL FOOLS FADE AWAY

I lost track of how many times
I’ve been misunderstood
Now is the time to speak my mind
Even if I shouldn’t
There’s no reason to pretend
This is now and that was then

Well it’s a long story that goes back when
I stepped away from the norm and ventured in
Well I could’ve saved some years of spinning my wheels
Seeking all the thrills
Until I found out what was real

They might have the means even though
Some believe it’s all about who you know
Think before you sign the dotted line
They will own you for life once you have signed
But you are no longer in demand
You are not to them,
a marketable brand

As all fools fade away
With the passing of time
With the passing of years
They’ll disappear before your eyes
That might lead to their demise

Blacklisted from
Disassociated with
Extracted from
Their preferred list

You’ve been modeled after the current scene
You have nothing to offer
You’re not convincing
It’s all about the profit to be made
They’ll take no risk, they are too afraid

To enter into the unknown
Where they could atone

Erased from their memory all in time
Replaced by someone who fits in with their sign
The poison in the drink that’s hard too resist
As if you never exist
The story now has a twist

As all fools fade away
With the passing of time
With the passing of years
They’ll disappear before your eyes
It might just lead to their demise

Blacklisted from
Disassociated with
Extracted from
Their preferred list

As all fools fade away
With the passing of time
With the passing of years
They’ll disappear before your eyes
It might just lead to their demise

As all fools fade away
With the passing of time
With the passing of years
They’ll disappear before your eyes
It might just lead to their demise

As all fools fade away....
