The Fool

Warpaint The Fool Lyrics
1.Baby

Don't you call anybody else baby 'cause I'm your baby still.
It took a long time to make it, but I never changed my mind.
I never tried to fake it, never drew a line.

Don't you call anybody else baby 'cause I'm your baby still.
Took a long time to make it, but I never changed my mind.

You speak your fears, thinking in circles and checking what
mirrors don't see.
You live your life like a page from the book of my fantasy.
How I love you.

You speak your fear, thinking in circles and checking what
mirrors don't see.
You live your life like a page from the book of my fantasy.
(x3)

Don't you call anybody else baby (x7)


2.Bees

Your full moon taunts me

You put me, you put me on yourself
You've been at yourself
You woke me up last night
and my eyes lit up like lights
like a string of pearls
but you still did what you wanted

and all the time it took you to get your self straight
all that time it took you to get your self straight
all that time it took you to get yourself straight
was too late
so work harder for the things you made in me

And your full moon taunts me
And your thoughts they got me
(got me in
got me in)

and all the time it took you to get your self straight
all that time it took you to get your self straight
all that time it took you to get yourself straight
was too late
so work harder for the things you made in me

Did i reset what I started?
Did I resist what I wanted?
Do I think you've got my number?
I'm not the one to continue on.

all that time it took you to get yourself straight
was too late
so work harder for the things you made in me


3.Composure

The war you fight is underneath*
The water, getting deeper.
The wall, the wall, the falling wall,
The wall is busting open.
The wall is busting open.

In like a dull knife
Pulls out all the stops
I fall out like
Time running out

(Even when I was whispering
You hold on, the water was slippery
You listen, the weather was answering
I let go, I wanna get into it)

You've got your reasons that, hey hey,
Turned by the seasons and long days gone
Too many minds in my, I don't know,
Got in the way of my busting out

Cold and under, I almost forgot to
Face up to what i ought to.
Willing and I do give offering to you
Willing and I do give offering to you
Don't know why I feel so different
Feel just like a different person
Willing and I do give offering to you

You're tied in a knot, can't throw you back here.
You've got the floor, they say. You gotta lock it up.
Late into the night you wore off that fever.
That fever.

You've got your reasons that, hey hey,
Turned by the seasons and long days gone.
Too many minds in my, I don't know
Got in the way of my busting out.

I'm over here by your way.
Tight as a knot, i want to fade.
I'm over here by your way.
Tight as a knot, I want to fade.


4.Lissie's Heart Murmur

On the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing that sinks so far down
that sings so far down

and I handle my business and I know the prize
is of no consequence. You have looked with your eyes
wide open to what's inside, that sinks so far down

I'm in two

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now, can't go back now

on the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing

now I stay holding this honesty with you

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now

sink so far down when I know you're around
and I can't go back now, can't go back now


5.Majesty

When I held your hand, when I held your hand,
When I helped you, when I held your hand,
You still went the other way and you wanted me to stay,
With my arms stretching away, with my arms stretching away.
I couldn't stand that sight but I adore your face
I adored your face.

Could it be that I'm the same?
Could it be I'm your mirror,
Showing you all those things that you never wanted to face.
So you let me slip away,
You just watched me walk away,
And I just have to ask, do you know your fate?
Do you know your fate?

Could it be that I'm your...
Could it be that you are my...
Majesty.

When it all comes back, when it all falls into place,
Could it be that I don't want it anyway?
Could it be as sad as that?
There was a day we used to laugh and I wanted you by my side,
The perfect match,
I want to understand it,
The perfect match.

Could it be that I'm your...
Could it be that you are my...
Majesty.

You could've been my king (x3)


6.Set Your Arms Down

Out on the back porch
you say tonight
We bring our pocket
our pocket knives

you want to fight me
you want to fight
forgotten sense of me
saya, saya

and in the backyard
into the night
we walk through fire
my love is your flashlight

they want to fight me
they want to fight
forgotten sense of me
saya, saya

walk through the fire
walk 'till it gets light
there is no hiding
to save your life

you've got to try

say you're me now
set your arms down


7.Shadows

I know I'm afraid, I know I'm afraid,
I'm drunk and I'm tired,
And the city I walk in, the city I walk in,
It feels like it swallows,
With my hand in my pocket,
I feel like a shadow, I feel like a shadow.

Though I'm afraid,
Afraid that I have made mistakes.
Now there's nothing here for me.
The things you once told me
The thoughts you once gave me
Sounded like the wind in my ears
And blows up the thoughts I've got in my long brown hair.

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than
that.
What did you whisper in my ear?
What did you tell me that I wanted to hear?
What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies...

Brought back something,
A bit for you, a bit for everyone.
You and all your pieces,
You and all your pieces made me come,
And all that love you gave was strong enough to make me stay and
now it will be alright.

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than
that.
I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than
that.

What did you whisper in my ear?
What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies...


8.Undertow

Your brown eyes are my blue skies
They light up the rivers that the birds fly over
Better not to quench your thirst
Better not to be the first one diving in
Though you caught me and you know why
You breathe in the deepest part of the water

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?

Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you in the undertow

Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Oh, oh, oh
You better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out
What's in my mind tonight

Let tonight pass us by
Do you really wanna be the one to fight?
And I said,
'You're better not to light that fire,
It will take you to the darkest part of the weather.'

What's the matter, you hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?

Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you in the undertow

Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Oh, oh, oh
You better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out
What's in my mind tonight
Nobody ever has to find out
What's in my mind tonight

Nobody in my mind
Nobody in my mind
I feel it in my heart tonight

I laid on the floor
Pressing in my eyes
Seeing little lights
Just like these decisions that only one could make
I wanted to stay home but I went

Running, running, running, running from the troubles
Running, running, running, running from the troubles
Running, running, running, running from the troubles
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running,
running running...

What's the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you so

Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Oh, oh, oh
You better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out
What's in my mind tonight

I went running, running, running, running from the troubles
(I laid on the floor, pressing in my eyes
Seeing little lights
Just like these decisions that only one could make
I wanted to stay home but I went...)
Running, running, running, running, running, running, running,
running, running, running, running, running from the troubles...


9.Warpaint

The war you fight is underneath
the water, getting deeper.
The wall, the wall, the falling wall,
the wall is busting open.
The wall is busting open.

In like a dull knife
pulls out all the stops
I fall out like
time running out

(even when I was whispering
you hold on, the water was slippery
you listen, the weather was answering
I let go, I wanna get into it)

You've got your reasons that, hey hey,
turned by the seasons and long days gone
too many minds in my, I don't know,
got in the way of my busting out

Cold and under, I almost forgot to
face up to what i ought to.
Willing and I do give offering to you
Willing and I do give offering to you
Don't know why I feel so different
Feel just like a different person
Willing and I do give offering to you

You're tied in a knot, can't throw you back here.
You've got the floor, they say. You gotta lock it up.
Late into the night you wore off that fever.
That fever.

You've got your reasons that, hey hey,

Too many minds in my, I don't know
got in the way of my busting out.

I'm over here by your way.
Tight as a knot, i want to fade.
I'm over here by your way.
Tight as a knot, I want to fade.
