Silent Fool

Silent Fool

Lost in the flames that burned around me
The world was once something that held so much hope
A series of stumbles and falls that felt like they would break me

Blinded by what rose from the heat and fire
Thought, she was my saviour and my way forward
The wreckage of my life is seemingly behind me now

But just as all that glitters is not gold
Sometimes the things we see as our salvation are not
Coming to me and as hypnotic as a snake

Luring me in and trapping me within
The strength in me being sapped away
Now a shadow of what I once was

Needing to find my way back and find that lust for life again
The mountains hold my hope as I seek her and the salvation she holds
Now trying to rise from the flames of my life and fly again

The future is once again something I can hope for
The future is something I want to grab hold of and embrace
No longer be the silent fool I once was
