Failure On My Lips

Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling

Moving faster through my veins

And bleeding out the sun

That's bleeding down our necks

And burning my eyes

If this is a crutch for the weak

Then I am the least of these

So cut off my arms and break my legs

So I don't feel this anymore

Choking on all of the feeling

That I'm swallowing in

Tasting the failure on my lips

That I've lead in

And this is my last chance for survival

A last ditch effort to cure my ache

We're so vain aren't we?

We're so proud and empty

We're left leaning on our only intrigue

The lies that I've told won't bury us whole

They won't find us time

This is the end of the story that I can forget

This goes far beyond our loyalties

And we feign as a shield

That's teeming with guilt and resonance

But we held our heads so high

We have not yet defeated failure
