lyrics
Only an idiot
Remains an optimist
In spite of overwhelming disappointment
Stubbornly his hopes persist
What grandiosity
Must gradually accrete
To choose to die upon a magic mountain
Rather than concede defeat?
There’s no accounting
Forfeit the prize
Locked inside a fortress of certainty
Training his eyes
Fast upon the treasure beyond
Consider the price
To dwell in this precarious state
And still hazard an idiot’s fate
When interventions and
Endeavors to dissuade
All fail, what more does there remain to do
Than wallow in the bed you’ve made?
Dare not deride the fool,
Sick and delusion-struck
For taking every tremor as a token
Of his soon-resurgent luck
He must be joking
Forfeit the prize
Locked inside a fortress of certainty
Training his eyes
Fast upon the treasure beyond
Consider the price
To dwell in this precarious state
And still hazard an idiot’s fate
Blissfully ignorant
No matter the event
Eager to fall on his sword
It’s an idiot’s only reward…
Consider the price
To dwell in this precarious state
I’ll hazard an idiot’s fate
