Lyrics - The Fool Decides

Quiet falls so silently
In a crowded place I?m alone with you
The room divides, a song provides
When it falls away what?s left inside?.

Reason dies
We question why
It always seems that a fool decides
The quiet aims
Of every heart
So you call my name, I?m torn apart?.

Who?s to say a fool decides
The thousand questions answered why?
All I know and all I?ve seen is that I?ll find my way through you?.
Through will of mind and sleight of hand
I?ll find a way oh I?ll understand
If all we ever are is rust, then I know that that?s enough?.

Chances are, you?ll never save
In your open book, the final page
So tear it free and save for me
Your endless well of mystery?.

All I know and all I?ve seen to soon
Is that people kill the mysteries with truths
That are draining the life and the colour
From everything they love

And all I?ve learnt and all I hope to do
Is to give a little distance where it's due
As the woods would be a quiet place
If a bird?s afraid to sing?
