Failing Is Not Just For Failures

(álbum: Wooden Heart - 2010)

I lost my best friend to sadness speaking these words at arms length he said: to shake things up as hard as you can and if you figure it out by god tell everyone he said: failing is not just for failures it's for everyone, failures just have more experience but you can't quit now, you have to climb all night climb everyone of their towers, and show them your life but if I'm a quitter now, I promise I'll quit her in the end I don't need these weapons, I'll set my heart to win with the weight of the world trying to stop me breathe out, then inhale my little heartbeat and I'll do this for you, because the world might need it if I don't I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it (oh well)

I lost my best friend to sadness Even though we tried and tried, I guess we really didn't I haven't seen my chin since last may I'm gonna hold my breath. Let's all hold our breath together and turn this graveyard into a garden and grow from here we give words to colors and swear we're not blind we must be the last of our kind, claiming all the world as if we'll never die we are the ones living right now clamoring around on top of everyone but it has to hurt of it's to heal, well my god it must be healing it's like a knife in the heart, and I'm starting to lose feeling it's gonna hurt before it heals, but the pain is getting bigger this dams about to go, and I'm running out of fingers it'll hurt but it will heal, I'm starting to believe it eyes wide open in the darkness, but I really can't see it it's burning right now and I want you to feel it somehow, but without the pain of knowing it when all is lost I won't think of you there's nothing in this world that ghost can do no matter what's ahead I'll push on through for your life or through your death, I'll keep on

Until I've reached the sea where I can go no further when all these possibilities keep forcing me towards their goals confronted with their true self most men run away screaming with nothing as their enemy it's hollow and it's whole. stuffing sorrow in their souls until all hope is lost in the infinite I won't ever say goodbye because there's no good in it I'll stay the course, you've sailed away while my path leads to God only knows I'll finish this race, you've quit so early I'd invite you to swim but drifting is not swimming

And this is it, you've given me no choice but to use mere words to stay alive. while you've paid them no mind. and I'll tell stories about your life, you are no hero but I'll lie… because, when all is lost I won't think of you there's nothing in this world that ghost can do no matter what's ahead I'll push on through for your life or through your death, I'll keep on.
