Melodramatic Fool
Lyrics
Melodramatic Fool

I’ve got no clue
what words to sing to you.
I’m such a melodramatic fool
in the trenches of
your unrequited love
relentless and dark and cruel,
but any words I might tell you
betray the torment of my heart
such useless fluff
when I’m blown apart.

With grace sublime
I’d ply a wretched rhyme
But I’m such a pretentious stooge
and the way I feel
I’m clueless to reveal
an emotion so bleak and huge
and any tune I might croon to you
belies the anguish of my soul
like muffled cries
from a deep dark hole.

Yeah, every splotch, every brush stroke
clots like blood against my brain
Every smear
Scribbled out in vain
