The Foolish One

Do you think I haven't seen you in your bedroom
With your face scrunched up in pleasure
To the sound of Ben Folds Five?
Well, it seems to me that all my friends are dead inside,
A willful and strategic lack of light.
Do you think I don't remember?
From the dumpster to the rooftop
Where we spoke of nothing, nowhere, nobody,
and we can see it now.
But, can't you spare a moment for a lyric in a song?
I'd love to see you off as something worth a rhyme.
Would it be so hard?
I already think you're pretty dumb,
So put down the flash cards.
Maybe you'll find that I am not the foolish one.
Do you think I haven't spent my share of weekends staring blankly to the mocking sound of laughter through the wall?
Well, you wouldn't know.
You're off airing your laundry to a girl who sees you mostly as a friend.
And, I know that we've been taught to speak of nothing we can't point to with a grunt,
Or sit in silence and just scowl,
But you and I are bigger than a portrait of John Wayne
And we both could use some time to let it die.
Would it be so hard?
Would it be like coming undone,
Cuz I've seen it all, kid.
Under the rocks, I find I miss the foolish one.

I've been up staring at the world again, in different patterns,
Searching for spaces to fill in.
And, when I find it, I have changed again, for worse or better,
And I'm without something within
So, when I come, I come slowly,
And, when I go, I go quietly.
You might miss me, if you don't give it time.
I've got your presence in my sight again, I'm asking questions.
How have you come here, through what storm?
So, give to me what fears you're carrying in soft unrest, and
I'll blend my miseries with yours.
And when I come, I'll come slowly,
And when I go, I'll go quietly.
You might miss me, but just give it some time.
You'll be with me when next I look inside.
