Charlie Kaplan - Idiot Lyrics

Idiot, what you gonna do now?
Other than dancing like nobody's even watching
And I bet you wouldn't even know how
How to stop the heads from talking
And over and over it seems
You get older and older in your dreams
And you can't breathe when you know
That you're gonna have to be the one who's asking
With no reprieve from below,
Are you brave enough to turn the other way?
Idiot, can you clean this mess up?
There's no scents to make sense of where it's leading
And I bet you don't even know what
You don't know what will stop all this bleeding
And it goes
In and out to the stream
Which then flows and it flows
Back to those dreams
Yet you still cannot step
Back into the same waters that you had walked in
Sweeps you away once you know
You will have to stop and wait another day
To hear you say that your life was a joke
I know what you're doing
It's what you see through the smoke
Coughing all the way
On the line is Roanoke
Reading in the ruins
Throwing off the wretched yoke
Idiot, can you call me right back
All that's coming through is but some static
And I bet it won't even fade to black
But you still must pretend it's automatic
And I know that you had to believe
That this wouldn't just be yet another
Regression right back to the mean
And you had to
You need to
You bleed to
Believe you
This once
Finally
Had the guts
To keep it clean
In the dead of the night
You were staring up at a future so bright (heavy light)
And you know that you might
Have to give your soul only to spare your sight
So alright, they were under the spell
Of world you knew so well
You gave into the fight
And let the marchers have their sway
Under cover of night
Leading from the line
When the veil fell in time
The idiot was right
