Failsafe

With courage and a lost cause

I refuse to walk away from destiny

But the guilt keeps rising and it's rushing through my blood streams again

Forced to the end of my tether

Damned to embrace the ache cause things aren't getting any better

No saint, no martyr

Condemned to repeat and render the same mistakes

No valor, no honor

Now all hope has faulted but I just can't let this go

I'm constantly nervous

And I can't escape it

Hope I don't break before I bend

Cause the tick tock of the time bomb clock

Is getting ever so close to the end

I just wanna feel like I'm not broken

Like I'm just wasting my time

'Cause I'm starting to believe this dreams a fantasy

That I've built up in my mind, it's got me feeling like

Everyday, my head is a battlefield

Both sides waging war on how I'm supposed to feel

I just wanna feel like I'm not broken

Like I'm just wasting, I'm just wasting my time

So how many times must I calculate a reason for my disillusion?

And now that it feels

Feels like I've adapted to chaos, I can't live without the taste

I'm scared to bite the hand that feeds

But you love to force these words upon me

So go ahead and give me the last line and preach it to the choir

'Cause I don't believe a single word you say

Life plays out like a daydream, contorting reality

Yet my perception remains so clear

Now I'm running out of options, I'm running out of time

And time's all that we have left

I just wanna feel like I'm not broken

Like I'm just wasting my time

'Cause I'm starting to believe this dreams a fantasy

That I've built up in my mind, it's got me feeling like

Everyday, my head is a battlefield

Both sides waging war on how I'm supposed to feel

I just wanna feel like I'm not broken

Like I'm just wasting, I'm just wasting my time

I'm sick of treading water when this is sinking sand

Trying to keep afloat with concrete for a life raft

And if my days are numbered, I think that you should know

We're children of the fire, and we will always burn

We will always burn

I need you to know

I'm sick of treading water when this is sinking sand

I've tried to keep afloat, I need a helping hand

And if my days are numbered, I just think you should know

We're children of the fire, and we will always burn
