Kingdom For A Fool

(album: Year Of The Dark Horse - 2022)

Seasons change, the way they always do
The world is dipped, dancing circles with the moon
It's a lack of gain, a calculated ruse
Spinning us, till we're a little bit confused
I wish I'd find just a better way to lose

So I settled for a cage, 9-5 and hollowed out
Breaking like a window, I can see there's no way out
Slave and a working wage, is that all I'll ever do?
Stuck in this apartment, a kingdom for a fool

Things will change, well this ain't no breaking news
Life is hard, beautiful, crude
We stay the same, cemented heavy in our boots
Like a sycamore, clinging to its roots
Wish I had a way to cut me loose

So I settled for a cage, clipped my wings and headed south
Joined the wounded herd, get in line and shut your mouth
Let the apocalypse come, the end is seldom good
Lost inside my head, a kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
A kingdom for a fool
