Failed To Fail To Live
I almost died last night
Just so I could live
I've lost myself so much along the way
I can't find anything left to give
When I awoke to a new day's light
I cried because I was still here
I've even failed to fail to live and
Living's by far my biggest fear
My frantic, honest cry for help
Unintentionally manipulative to you
Weighed you down with the unfair burden
Of a weight you could not have moved
I'm sorry, sorry, pathetically sorry
I'm so self-centered and insane
I expected you to love and walk and guide me
It's just so lonely walking in my internal rain
