lyrics

I bring to the light of day
Only lines carefully made
Wouldn’t want you knowing
The words I keep beneath the rhythm and the rhyme

These precious lines I write
Were surely born as lies
So I only show the words I know
Will keep in the heat of light of day

And as I write the words escape like shooting bits of blue to crumbled bits of paper
The only place to truly know my mind

The heart is a masterpiece
The brain is to blame for keeping it bleeding
To justify an idle life on paper

And as I write the words escape like shooting bits of blue to crumbled bits of paper
The only place to truly me
As I write the words escape like shooting bits of blue to crumbled bits of paper
The only place to truly know my mind

I could never show you
All that breeds within my brain
I could never bear it
Cause you would find me out
I’m a fraud, I have failed
You would find me out
I’m a fraud, a failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
Failure
