Taken for a Fool Lyrics

What are you trying to prove?
Running away won't do.
Hit head on and broadside,
You've been taken for a fool.
Now all of the world's prayers
Could not suffice what you've been through.
Summer's passed the autumn's due,
Cold as stone the days ensue.
I thought it so untrue,
When I was taken for a fool.

What I had held, I couldn't take no longer.
Life's pinching of the nerves got strong and,
No relief in sight,
Everything to fight.
Feelings crushed my mind,
Gears began to grind.
Through an evil grin, I saw you clawing at my skin.

Crying like a child with no where left to hide,
You took me for a fool,
Just like they've done to you.

What are you trying to prove?
Running away won't do.
Hit head on and broadside,
You've been taken for a fool.
Now all of the world's prayers
Could not suffice what you've been through.
Summer's passed the autumn's due,
Cold as stone the days ensue.
I thought it so untrue,
When I was taken, taken for a fool.

Why did I listen? Why'd I stop you crying,
Where did I get the clue that you were lying,
Endless days and nights,
Razor shining bright.
You took me for a fool,
Just like they've done to you.
Never once you threatened were those lies in our own bed?
I can't force a smile at your demise,
It's what you did not you that I despise.
You took me for a fool,
Just they've done to you.
