Artist: the beloved
Song: failure on my lips
Album: Failure On
Year: 2003
Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
Moving faster through my veins
And bleeding out the sun
Thats 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 dont feel this anymore
Choking on all of the feeling
That Im swallowing in
Tasting the failure on my lips
That Ive lead in
And this is my last chance for survival
A last ditch effort to cure my ache
Were so vain arent we?
Were so proud and empty
Were left leaning on our only intrigue
The lies that Ive told wont bury us whole
They wont 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
Thats teeming with guilt and resonance
But we held our heads so high
We have not yet defeated failure
