Ship of fools
climbing up the river
bounded to progress
blinded to beauty


ship of fools
don't know where they're going
but they always think so
do you really think so?

the water is not as
cold as you had thought so
last year I watched the leaves fall
now I fall with them

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed

ohh

I,
watch the ship burn down
every night
I lay my head
I see the blazing story
in my bed


and what happens next
isn’t ours to choose
what happens next
really is just ours to lose


The Ship of fools
