Failure

(album: Be Consumed - 2022)

A pernicious mind left confined
Absent to a sense of time
Light, blinding light
Come back to fill these clouded, somber eyes
My demise
Was it providence and malevolence
Intertwined? Rectified
To keep these mistakes buried deep inside

Just another night spent asking is this even real?
A thousand days spent numbing things that I feel
Something's not right
I shut out the light
I've become more hollow as the days go by

Am I a failure for falling into this trap?
A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back
Am I a failure for falling into this trap?
A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back

Failure
I'm a failure
Not a failure
Just a failure to comprehend
Unwilling to make amends
Fear, blinding fear

Just another night spent asking is this even real?
A thousand days spent numbing things that I feel
Something's not right
I shut out the light
I've become more hollow as the days go by

I shut out the light

Am I a failure for falling into this trap?
A sense of purpose, one I'll never get back
