Wholesale Failure

(album: Crustfall - 2017)

What the fuck?
Would it matter if I live or die
Once I'm dead the sky will still be blue
I'm no catalyst for change
Just another breathing thing
Taking up a bit o' room

Everything's so fucked it's comical
Waking up's a drag
And the worst part's that I know this isn't even close
To how devastatingly bad everything is gonna get

Life's a joke, I'm anticipating the punchline
I'm drunk so I'm just fine but soon I'll be sober and broke
Down and out for the Nth time and all alone
And I welcome writer's block with wide open arms
Because if I'm not writing I'm happy
Writing is just an escape from the day-to-day tragedy
I find surrounds me

So, what the fuck?
Would it matter if we just quit breathing
Our hearts could cease beating
And who'd think twice?
Life's a gamble and tomorrow's never promised
So fuck it I say let's roll the dice

Everything's so fucked it's comical
Waking up's a drag
And the worst part's that I know this isn't even close
To how devastatingly sad everything is gonna get

Well I'm paying outta pocket for wholesale failure
And every little victory feels so underwhelming
When all that I can think about is how the story ends
And all the lessons that I've yet to learn
There's the future, the past, and we're stuck in between
In the only place that I feel comfortable
If I could freeze every second hand, bet that I would
Before everything goes to hell in a handbag
But time will keep on ticking
And the Earth won't soon quit spinning
Despite what we want, who we are, what we fear, what we feel
Someday we all must die
Take one more breath and say goodbye

So, why the fuck
Do we obsess over success and failure?
As long as we're breathing we're all alright
So here's to conceding I'm aware now I'm part of the plight

Everything's so fucked it's comical
Waking up's a drag
But the best part's that right now we're still alive
We can restart, we can dive into the lives we want
And make the best of the time that we've got left!
