Idiocracy is a word that describes the fool
I fall in this category
All because I keep finding myself falling
Once again for you.

I close my eyes so tight
So that I can wish the feelings away
The feelings that pick me up
But put me down the very next day.

I press on a bright expression
It shines through the scourging pain
Just to play with your mind, to let it think
Oh! Everything is still the same.

Just when I feel that I’m doing well
Making great progress and moving on
You do something stupid, but great
That keeps me dragging along.

I will continue to act and pretend
That you and whatever you do is something I respond to with “I don’t care”
And you, you can keep living obliviously
Playing the fool, not knowing my feelings are there.
