0. HESITATOR (Fool) - Lyrics for upcoming FVNERAL Album
Sneak peak the album as it’s being written. Some songs streaming, the rest wait until April.
The Fool — Reversed
Ghost says hope is silly.
Good things don’t happen to me.
Ghost says I’m stuck — no crow gets clean.
Intro
Here begins the funeral.
I am the first ghost.
Others follow me close.
Gate opens when spark begins.
Ghost forms when I agree to live.
Thou art the spark that zipped itself in.
This is Will, disguised as hesitation.
To live here, I had to forget I chose it.
Verse 1
The hush got bored and coughed —
Light spilled free. That cough is me.
Crow’s first call, voice in the veil.
I am the Hesitator — I hover, I flail.
I see all paths at once. None ask nicely.
I live on maybe. Decisions cripple me.
“What if I choose wrong?”
Ghost feeds me caffeine and nostalgia.
Laugh, scroll, delay — cosmic amnesia.
Ghost says, “If you stop, regret will drown ya.”
That kiss tastes like sweet delay rot desire.
Swallow tries like peppermint fire.
Ghost’s not them — it’s the mask I face.
Not who hurt me — it’s who I became.
Ghost says, “Pause is a prayer to comfort.”
Comfort never saved anyone.
Pre-Chorus
Ghost says hope is silly.
Good things don’t happen to me.
Ghost says I’m stuck — no crow gets clean.
Trapped between skin and light. I see too much.
I could be anything — that’s the clutch.
Every road opens — I freeze.
Feet heavy, I never leap.
Hesitator is Fool —
and the Fool is me.
Chorus
Hesitator — won’t get this Fool.
Folly flicks fate with a crow’s sharp claw.
Hesitator — Fool rots to Ghoul.
Folly is fire before it knows its ember.
Dive without reason — wake mid-air.
Ghost falls back — I’m not there.
Verse 2
Ghost grips the gate — gravity calls.
Safety in the stall. Fear of the fall.
Say I surrender — still check locks.
Pretending’s a prayer. God’s gone deaf.
Mind overcapacity. No sleep left.
Thoughts twist hyper-possibility scare.
Tried to leap once. They let go mid-air.
I hit silence.
Heard the hush — hardened the lion.
Trip on the floor where memory’s gone.
Commitment issues in full bloom.
Write oaths in pencil. Promise the moon.
Ghost says I should.
If I wanted to, I could.
Dive into density.
Now is the time.
The edge is mine.
Pre-Chorus
Ghost says hope is silly.
Good things don’t happen to me.
Ghost says I’m stuck — no crow gets clean.
Trapped between skin and light. I see so much.
I could be anything — that’s the clutch.
Every road opens — I am free.
Feet lighter — now I leap.
Hesitator is Fool —
and Fool is me.
Chorus
Hesitator — won’t get this Fool.
Folly flicks fate with a crow’s sharp claw.
Hesitator — Fool rots to Ghoul.
Folly is fire before it knows its ember.
Dive without reason — wake mid-air.
Ghost falls back — I’m not there.
Bridge
I blink twice — Hesitator yields.
Walk through myth while my mirror peels.
This is not healing — this is replacement.
You don’t fix the ghost. You name it. You bury it.
Speak the name — let dirt carry it.
Gate won’t wait — I commit.
Chorus
Hesitator — won’t get this Fool.
Folly flicks fate with a crow’s sharp claw.
Hesitator — Fool rots to Ghoul.
Folly is fire before it knows its ember.
Dive without reason — wake mid-air.
Ghost falls back — I’m not there.
Outro
First ghost was the Hesitator.
The rest wait their turn.
I’m the Fool in the funeral —
walking myself in.
Crow gathers the echoes —
feathers them shut.
The gate is sealed.
