[Verse

Dumb and poetic a strange contradiction

A mind that wanders a heart in affliction

You quote the sages the philosophers' lore

But your soul's a void an empty core

[Verse 2

You speak of wisdom with eyes that don't see

Masked in eloquence yet hollow you be

Chasing shadows of thoughts undefined

In the maze of your words I get left behind

[Chorus

Oh the paradox of you is clear

Words of gold disguise your fear

Dancing on the edge of sanity

Lost in the depths of your vanity

[Verse 3

You paint your life in shades of abstract

Hoping no one sees the colors you lack

Holding mirrors to reflect your facade

But cracks in the glass leave you scarred

[Bridge

The world you build on whispers unspun

A castle made of sand under the sun

One gust of truth your kingdom falls down

Revealing the jester that wears your crown

[Chorus

Oh the paradox of you is clear

Words of gold disguise your fear

Dancing on the edge of sanity

Lost in the depths of your vanity
