FAILURE
Licking
my lips I lean
in for the first kiss He says I am mistaken Leaves me eyes closed, mouth open Big people fly in To see me rise to the occasion I know this is it But occasions make me sink like a stone They fly home Opening the paper I see my big idea punctured like a balloon deflating for the whole country to see Blood pumping through my veins As I fall Here’s to the feeling of failure Ah, the rush when you made a fool or yourself Ah, the liberating fresh scent of failure You are finally free from yourself Reading your letter It made me remember When I was a teenager I had a band that no one knew of If I express my love for no one I won’t be rejected If I play my songs to no one They won’t be made fun of If I point out my own flaws Put them on a shirt Here’s to the feeling of failure Ah, the rush when you tried and you fell härmas Ah, liberating fresh scent of failure It's a
big fuck off sign to yourself
Free falling Free falling into thin air Who will be left when I come down What parts will be there Free falling Free falling into thin air if it fit didn’t please them I must have done it to please me it must mean I am finally free In this song alone I worry: Am I too straight, am I saying things that belong to refrigerator magnets but Oh no! I am liberated now I will do no such thing as to hide what I’m saying Hear the strings play it Here’s to the feeling of failure Ah, the rush when you made a fool or yourself The liberating fresh scent of failure It's a big fuck off sign to yourself |
