-The Village Idiot
  (Stupid Is)

You've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
keeps doing

Ignorant ways
and idiot thoughts
Act the fool 'cause
that's all you are

I'd tell you to
get up and go
but you already
got up and went

Another fools errand
for which you have
so foolishly been sent

The village idiot
The county fool
What is the problem
Didn't we send you
to school?

We've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
always has.

I'm just your average idiot
Let me make that clear
I am nothing special;
A failure, but sincere

Clever are my thoughts
But I never follow through
In a lie detector test
I answered every question "true".

I smile through the pain
Feeling a sense of shame
Maybe I'm insane
Not right in the brain

Or am I just a nitwit
A simpleton at best
Gathering my twigs
To someday build a nest

Screaming out "I'm normal!"
But still not like the rest
Never fitting in
No matter who I'm with

You would understand the truth
From one day in my shoes
No need to feel pity
After all, I've got nothing to lose

I'm travelling 60mph and then
you pass me like you think you
got warp speed under your hood,
Nervous drivers now moving over.

Going no where fast, chilling on
the road, then I hit the island,
and see you kissing the bushes
car looks not so good..

Karma slapped you good,
thinking you got road skills,
but your just trimming bushes,
I wave smiling, driving on my way.

Before too long,
I'll fall in love with her.
Glorious as the summer wind,
bright and easy
to handle, she'll drift
and weep her joy
into my soul.
Before too long,
I'll fill myself with salt
and sing an ocean song
to catch her currents in my storm
and my heart will explode
when she touches my hands,
playing me like a piano.
Before too long,
I'll fall in love with her
just like she wants me to
and I will be left a fool,
stranded
in ice and brandy.

There is nothing worse than what I've done. I am the lowest a person can sink. I know this for sure now, because when the person who loved you more than anyone else and who actually cared about you tells you that you are the worst person, you need to believe it. I made excuses, I told lies, I was a coward, and none of it matters anymore. I could talk about how I feel right now, but it wouldn't change anything, it doesn't matter. I don't matter anymore. But there really is no where for me to go right now but up, I need to change everything about me. I destroyed her worse than anyone else, but who cares what I say. Or how I feel. She doesn't love me. She doesn't care about me. And she has no reason to love or care.

**** about face, I seem to get things,
Always putting my foot in my mouth.
I’m do-lally tap as me mum always says.
A great big apeth, just like my dad.

But you my dear, help me think clear
you’re the only thing seemingly right.
I may be a wally, I may be a ***
But I want to dance with you tonight.

You claim to want someone that
Betters you
But I know that isn't
Really true

You break my heart because you
See me
As incredibly important, but
Unromantically

I helped you when you
Were alone
Taught you things that would've
Stayed unknown
When I speak the whole room falls
Silent and listens
A star that more than shines
I glisten

Cunning, daring, brave, and true
Yet I am not enough for you?

You don't want companionship
You crave beauty and magnificence
That only goes skin-deep; if not
Then pure perfection is your love's cost

Don't leave me with this pristine sting
Of loving you without you loving me
I could give you everything
But you won't even look at me

Close your eyes and just love me
Or end my prolonged suffering
