Failure is Relative - Before Today

Stop me before I go to waste

For every heart that’s born

Can easily be torn away

I can’t comply

To this state of consciousness

That we call life

And though I stand here to perish

I will stand here till I die

Stop me from making more mistakes

Fallen friends have learned their lessons

Fate their teachers taught them all too late

Don’t teach me too late

Just hide me from my fate

As the dead raise to fingers

Of bare bone in the sign of peace

And in the sign of hope

That we won’t fail

We’ll defy these things

We won’t fail

We won’t fail

Everybody’s greatness is relative

Everybody’s greatness is relative

To what this universe has put them here to do

To what this universe has

Put them here to do

Here to do and as a sign of hope

So we won’t fail

We’ll defy these things

We won’t fail

We won’t fail
