about

“Fools” is dark, apologetic song about hurting the ones closet to us. It features heavy acoustic and electric guitars with a deep, constant groove and has a grunge/country feel.

lyrics

Mama, I’m sorry that you came
You had to see this wreck of a man in shame
And father, well, I’m sorry I let you down
But it’s the only way that I know how... you see

I’m here to hurt you, and I’ll see it through
At least that’s the only thing that I know how to do
Truly and see how I make due
Is to make all of the others feel that they are fools

And brother, I’m sorry I bruised your face
I tore down your walls out of my own disgrace
And sister, I’m sorry that you’ve never seen
My face is twisted from all of the screaming... you see

I’m here to hurt you, and I’ll see it through
At least that’s the only thing that I know how to do
Truly and see how I make due
Is to make all of the others feel that they are fools
I’ll hurt you, and I’ll see it through
At least that’s the only thing that I know how to do
Truly and see how I make due
Is to make all of the others feel that they are fools

Hey girl, I’m sorry I caused you pain
I know the words hurt like needles in your veins
Amy, well I’m sorry ‘bout all these scars
Indeed, the mirror cuts and holds like prison bars... and now

I’m here to hurt you, and I’ll see it through
At least that’s the only thing that I know how to do
Truly and see how I make due
Is to make all of the others feel that they are fools
Hurt you, well, I’ll see it through
At least that’s the only thing that I know how to do
Truly and see how I make due
Is to make all of the others feel that they are fools
