Philosophers and Fools Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We built the house that love builds

And then we burned it to the ground

We raked through all the embers

But ash was all we found

When love is built on tinder

And it flirts with a flickering flame

And all I've got left is my loneliness

My heartache and my name



[Chorus]

No battle is ever won

The end in sight almost never comes

And seamless love is the construct of

Philosophers and fools



[Verse 2]

A man who says he needs no aid

With him I can't agree

For he's never seen the glowing light

Of a lighthouse from the sea

He's never felt the tender

Love in the heart of a storm

And all he's got left is his loneliness

And his new flame to stay warm



[Chorus]

No battle is ever won

The end in sight almost never comes

And seamless love is the construct of

Philosophers and fools



[Verse 3]

Through all the wreckage and ruins

Up rises the smoke of regret

We realized as it stung our eyes

Love's not through with us yet

When love is built on tinder

And it flirts with a flickering flame

True love is never a constant, oh lord

It never stays the same



[Chorus]

No battle is ever won

The end in sight almost never comes

And seamless love is the construct of

Philosophers and fools

Oh, seamless love is the construct of

Philosophers and fools
