Kate And Corey Lyrics
"Failure"

The olive tree that's branches fill with peace and second chances
Warms the ether on the far horizon line.
And I'm trying just to reach it if I can't do I'll just teach it but
That's such an awful way to compromise.

When cigarettes have filled the tray and daytime's just to far away
I sometimes waste my time just to ignore
The fact that if I make it so I never, ever make it
I will never have to win and never lose.

So I learn to do my dances while the moonlight just enhances
My ability to fool myself again.

Page by page in blackened books I pretend I'm a star.
And in my room I can't believe I've gotten half this far.

CHORUS: Failure! Such a sweet disguise
Failure! Underneath my eyes
Never! Will I let myself
Ever! Admit that I don't really know what I'm dong here.

Just another day in Paris of maybe today it Tokyo
It's hard to keep mu bearings straight you know.
The ceiling tiles still look the same and everyone still knows my name
But I'm sure it's just coincidence, I'm sure.

The girl that brings me coffee gently smiles and rolls her eyes at me
But I tell myself that everyone's insane.
And back to work I go I know I play a lot of solitaire
But it really helps me focus in again

And I'm waiting for the next train in a station deep in my brain
With my ticket to the future in my hand.

Turn by turn I always seem to end up right back here.
I need to find a way to silence all these hopes and fears.

CHORUS: Failure! Always looks the same
Failure! I can always blame
Failure! On the outside world
Never! Admit that I don't really know what I'm doing here.

INST.

And tears will sometimes fill my eyes when something on the TV
Makes me realize how much more I could have done
Starving kids in Zimbabwe and music schools in Kenya
But instead i chose to stare into the sun.

And I'm trying to ignore it but it's getting so much louder
And I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore {2x}
