Kings, Gods, Fools Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the cool by the glass pool
Where you shed your clothes
On the stony shore there
Where the green moss grows
That's where you dreamt and chose

And you dove down for a secret
It took a couple of tries
And when you resurfaced
Even despite the light
You were dissatisfied

[Chorus 1]
You were utilizing tools
Are we kings or gods or fools?
Still I saw you watch me watching you
As you drank so resolute
Down to the dregs and truth
How the poison worked so fast
Heavy heart and pleasant mask

[Verse 2]
We walked for miles with your ashes in an urn
And a strongbox tight And a list of your demands
Up to the House of Light
Where all would be made right
And with a flick of His deft wrist
He let the pictures go
And they floated upwards
To where the warm storm blows
Through the kaleidoscope

[Chorus 2]
So you planned and saved and stored
Was your body slave or lord?
Still I saw you watch me watching you
As you built so resolute
Your picture-paper loot
How the magic worked so fast
Now you know you can't go back

[Outro]
You found your future in the water
Unknown to your son and your daughters
You were utilizing tools
