Author's comment: This song is about how I see suicide as the 'fool's escape', or the cowards way of escaping from their problems.
They didn't read the signs <br>Now they know <br>You think you covered up <br>But it shows <br>Read between the lines <br>Of the act <br>Things were wrong, in time <br>You just cracked <br> <br><Chorus> <br>It's what we call the fool's escape <br>From the game of life <br>Played the cowards hand <br>Made the sacrifice tonight <br> <br>So you had your girl <br>Now she knows <br>Hidden depths you held <br>But they show <br>Uncover secret truths <br>Of the act <br>A fragile mind, in time <br>You just cracked <br> <br><Chorus> <br>It's what we call the fool's escape <br>From the game of life <br>Played the cowards hand <br>Made the sacrifice tonight <br>It's what they call the fool's escape <br>Running from the lies <br>No way back from this mistake <br>Just close your eyes <br> <br>It's what they call a fool's escape <br> <br>What was your logic then ? <br>We don't know <br>The cracks were covered well <br>Now they show <br>On the final night <br>Of the act <br>Couldn't hold on, no <br>You just cracked <br> <br><Chorus> <br>It's what we call the fool's escape <br>From the game of life <br>Played the cowards hand <br>Made the sacrifice tonight <br>It's what they call the fool's escape <br>Running from the lies <br>No way back from this mistake <br>Just close your eyes <br> <br>It's what they call a fool's escape <br>(repeat to fade)
