Failures - I The Mighty

Who’s to say what defines who we are?

Our actions or our visible scars?

Fuck those who judge my character without a spoken word

Or put their faith in only what they’ve heard

You dig deeper and the lines become a blur

So you squint till you’re blind

Rest those tired eyes and vacant mind

There’s a raven pacing the floor

Outside your cellar door

That same word he spoke before

To judge me nevermore

It’s all part of the plan

We come alive when they put our heads in the sand

Everybody wants to know what you’ve got in store for them

Laughing at all your failures, all your futures

Everybody wants to use your life as a catalyst

Reliving all your failures, all your futures

Last words are the only thing to be remembered

Net worth and a list of all your crimes

This world is only as big as the space that you expand your mind

So give it up give it up for the failures

Give it up for the ones who tried!

It’s not enough not enough to live up to

the things that others wanted for your life

There’s a raven pacing the floor outside your cellar door

That same ghostly bird of yore he haunts me nevermore

It’s all part of the plan

we come alive when they put our heads in the sand

It’s a shame I even come out of your mouth

Do you ever even stop to think about what a waste of time and energy you spend

When it’s all perspective in the end?

If each star is a sun dying and burning

one by one inside this massive cosmic black

Far too expansive just to grasp

and knowing we created time and this grand theory of an end

well then its really just a theory maybe things have always been.
