April Fool

*(Intro)*  
He wakes to a world he doesn’t own,  
A borrowed life, a brittle throne.  
The truth knocks softly at his door,  
But he bolts it shut, as he’s done before.  
*(Verse 1)*  
He wears a mask, a painted smile,  
Hides his truth, mile by mile.  
In the mirror, he sees the cracks,  
But he turns away, won’t look back.  
*(Pre-Chorus)*  
He says, "It’s not me, it’s just a phase,  
A fleeting thought, a passing haze."  
But deep inside, the colors bloom,  
A rainbow locked in a shadowed room.  
*(Chorus)*  
April Fool, no, it’s all year long,  
Dancing to a tune that feels so wrong.  
He’s the jester in his own charade,  
Afraid of the life he could’ve made.  
*(Verse 2)*  
He points the finger, shifts the blame,  
Says the world’s the one to shame.  
“They lied to me, they set the trap,  
Took my trust and gave it a slap.”  
*(Pre-Chorus)*  
But the truth whispers, soft and clear,  
“You’re the one you truly fear.”  
The walls he built, the lies he spun,  
They’re the chains he can’t outrun.  
*(Chorus)*  
April Fool, no, it’s all year long,  
Dancing to a tune that feels so wrong.  
He’s the jester in his own charade,  
Afraid of the life he could’ve made.  
*(Verse 3)*  
The days march on, the years slip by,  
The fool still feeds on his own lie.  
A fleeting dream, a midnight sigh,  
The "what ifs" haunt, but he won’t try.  
*(Bridge)*  
What if he dared to drop the guise,  
To see the world through honest eyes?  
Would the fool become the king,  
If he let his true heart sing?  
*(Chorus)*  
April Fool, no, it’s all year long,  
Dancing to a tune that feels so wrong.  
He’s the jester in his own charade,  
Afraid of the life he could’ve made.  
*(Outro)*  
April Fool, the joke’s on him,  
A life unlived, a light grown dim.  
But maybe one day, he’ll break through,  
And find the courage to be true.
