Dafremen fools door
R.Dafremen

looked into his eyes so many years ago
watched him mouth the word "Goodbye."
the put the gun upside his head
just blew himself away

i tried to cry, so many tears to go
it seems as if they dried up when
i thought i'd found the truth
thought i saw the word "ESCAPE" writ in his parting smile

now i know where a fool
can find the bravery
the lunacy, stupidity
to throw This all away

to fling to chance the Shot To Dance
for dumped into a grave
to risk the face of nothingness
for splattered on a wall
to give up All This Everything
for hardly some at all.

as the blind tired of vision, pulls the trigger
another jester leaves The Show, for nothing bigger
could've stayed and Had It All, i guess it figures
that instead a fool would choose to pull the trigger

looked into his eyes so many years ago
watched him mouth the word "goodbye"
smacked that kid upside his head
and took the gun away.
