[ghost]: 57.Primal Authority.Failure

I'm falling again
I've snapped off the strings I use
to hold me up and keep me going
and I'm broken again
like a film strip that has reached the end
and yet the movie keeps on rolling

I've tried to be so much
I've stretched myself so far
And I see what I want, I
just can't reach it!
And I've always been like this
it's the only life I know
and I can never get my grip,
so I can't ever
let it go!

Failure,
it is the poision in my veins
cause I'm a Failure,
and all my struggles are in vain,
Failure,
and try hard as I may,
I'm still a failure,
and I can never change!

And I'm stumbling again,
I lost my balance and my foothold
as I ran the razors edge.
And I'm turning again
away from what I want to be
so I'll accept the way I am

I've tried to be so much
I've stretched myself so far
and I see what I want, I
just can't reach it.
And I've always been like this
it's the only life I know
and I can never get my grip
so I can't ever
let it go!

Failure,
it is the poision in my veins
cause I'm a Failure,
and all my struggles are in vain,
Failure,
and try hard as I may,
I'm still a failure,
and I can never change!

And people say that I try to do too much
and yet it feels like I can never do enough
and people say that I'm working much too hard
and that someday I'm gonna push myself too far
to them I say, yes, but how else can I grow?
how can I learn if I don't know what I don't know?
how can I be proud of what I become
if, when faced with trials, I succomb?
and so I hereby reject my fears
I have no time or place for weakness, here
and so in its stead I must be strong
'cause independance walks alone

Failure,
it is the poision in my veins
cause I'm a Failure,
and all my struggles are in vain,
Failure,
and try hard as I may,
I'm still a failure,
and I can never change!
