Absent Blues

from Fool by Brooks Strause

/

lyrics

Hanging tongue from joyful Fool
Take pity for fate is cruel
Satisfied and dead inside
So you have lied to avoid having to choose
Glimmering and swirled is the picture of the World
When you don't have the blues

Bliss is ignorant so heaven sent your skepticism to be risen and with it wisdom
Even when you do believe that peace is something but a dream it seems to cleave like you to need
Then when you're rested must you read until the secrets have been seen
And as you awaken taking pity, smiles were fake, you were mistaken
The supplicant cannot be cogent in his intent or his temperament
Though with open eyes you realize there went your life, a non event
Theorize, what would there be to lose, my love, if you were to refuse
Innocent and cool, will you be that kind of Fool
When you don't have the blues

Like the pity you've taken
Like your folly is sacred
Like a feeling is a tool
Like the journey of the Fool
Chaos ensues but it's old news
When you don't have the blues
