Towering Fool and Fool's Gold

I. Towering Fool

Everytime i find myself slipping, i'll come back to this. No more slip-ups. No more. If only i could find a way to tattoo it!  

Towering fool,
Only you could be burnished
By the blaze you burned in;
Only you couldn’t be tarnished,
By the weight of your sin.

Towering fool,
Only you could be brighter
Than your infamous past;
And after falling harder than ever,
You get up and consign it as past.

Towering fool,
Only you could fail to see
That retreat is so easy;
That the act of giving in,
Is the easier part of sin.

Towering fool,
Only you could ridiculously dare
To take on failure and stare
Right at the future unseen
Not believing you’re a ”has been”.

Towering fool,
Only you could plod on
Where no mule has ever gone;
Only you could lose it all
And still think you stand tall.

Towering fool,
Didn't anybody tell you
The well regarded wisdom
That fools don’t prosper,
Far less tower over,
Towering Fool?

II. Fool's Gold

Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown are a great new act. Love this song. Been on constant rotation.
