Failure

lyrics

Failure

You make me talk about failure
Making believe I am through
Catching a light from a trailer
You make believe that the problem is me and not you

You disappear in the morning
You may have already gone
Left planet earth without warning
Ending’s the very beginning when life gets too long

On your own if it’s done life gets lonely for you for me

I wake up every morning
Cheating death most of the time
I skipped the rope and the warning
Everyone’s different and everyone’s standing in line

All the time never mind life gets lonely for you for me
As long as it’s gone adding on no more
failure for you for me

Everyone sticks to the center
Maybe it’s where they belong
Exiting where they would enter
Ending’s the very beginning when life gets too long

Everyday brings a new failure
Drifters and sidecars abound
Walking the walk about failure
Maybe success is reserved for the last one around

Lost and found underground life gets lonely
for you for me
As long as it’s gone adding on no more
failure for you for me
On your own if it’s done life gets lonely for you for me
As long as it’s gone adding on no more
failure for you for me
