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.
