  • Young and bright
    But now just a dim light
    Off in the distance
    A falling stone
    Following the path
    Of least resistance

    If I still fight, it's just that I'm
    Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

    Taken for a fool
    Yes, I was because I was a fool
    Tell me what you do
    I lost my way in shades of neither school

    So many times
    Caught up in my head at night
    With a leash and a label
    If I can learn
    Anything from this, then I'd be like
    The fox in the fable of ?

    If I still fight, it's just that I'm
    Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

    The way we used to carry on
    Is stuck in my head like a terrible song

    Taken for a fool
    Yes I was, and I was a fool
    Following their rules
    Guess I was a very honest tune

    Taken for a fool
    Yes I was, because I was a fool Writer/s: JAMES MERCER
