So Many Fools Lyrics - Singles - Emilie Autumn

Is there no such thing as friendship? 

Is it possible to not slip 

Past the point of genial with a quip 

Implying something more? 

This is what the young girl wonders 

As her heartbeat races, thunders, 

Trying to drown out the grotesque blunders 

Of a man at war 

With the fact that he could be 

Her father twice over and she, 

A lady of sound mind and body, 

Was not meant for fools as he. 

Must a man be so unthinking? 

When he sees his ship is sinking 

Will he always try to grasp the 

Wing of one who still can fly? 

This is what the young girl ponders 

As she does, her vision wanders 

Trying not to notice how much fonder 

Looks the old man's eye 

Down upon her form and face 

Believing she might like the chase 

But knowing still that he has no place 

As he shows his true disgrace. 

Will my life be like this ever? 

Must I laugh and call them clever 

Or else fight and scratch and claw in 

Fury at so many fools? 

This is what the young girl muses 

As she battles shame and loses 

Leaving nothing but so many bruises 

Made by unseen tools 

Wielded by a strengthless hand 

Which could not hope to understand 

How quickly it kills, though unplanned 

Turning spirit into sand.
