Leaning On a Failure Mentality
{intro}
You keep-you keep-you keep flying,
Though I’m honestly crying…...weeping…..sighing…..
Extra careful not to snip your heart strings
Tattoo your tune in my heart that pleasurably stings
Pain is what I need not to inflict myself with – just what if…
This love affair was all but a reality with a mask of mischief?
{verse 1}
My mind is on a different channel…
Like an engine’s stereo on a bizarre radio station
I place my tiresome feet on the panel…
A fraction of your satisfaction is my motivation
Make a box house for you and I to be in…it won’t be snowed under anymore, the one I adore
We will be in the same roof, together as one if you know what I mean
You are the fox and I am your box, so build me up cleverly, not tear me down to the utter core
You melt me like butter on a hot potato, letting out all sorts of steam
{refrain}
Hopeless romance
Won’t help me at all
I am in this dance prance
Standing tall, but I fall
Enhance my success mentality
Enchanted by the opposites attracting
Leaning on failure has its fatality
Why am I overreacting? Under-thinking?
{chorus}
I’m angry at myself…for giving up so easily
Why do I get ticked off? He said it teasingly…
But, I get offended because I’m sensitive…
I take things far too seriously…but I stay attentive…
My mind constantly active…
My fingers are responsive…
To the vibes of typing on a keyboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
{verse 2}
It’s all my fault…but I’m looking for a better week when I’m energetic
For putting you through all this unnecessary stress
I’m the one to blame, but I’m frail, weak and tired, so be gentle and therapeutic
I’m making progress by picking up my own mess
{refrain}
Hopeless romance
Won’t help me at all
I am in this dance prance
Standing tall, but I fall
Enhance my success mentality
Enchanted by the opposites attracting
Leaning on failure has its fatality
Why am I overreacting? Under-thinking?
{chorus}
I’m angry at myself…for giving up so easily
Why do I get ticked off? He said it teasingly…
But, I get offended because I’m sensitive…
I take things far too seriously…but I stay attentive…
My mind constantly active…
My fingers are responsive…
To the vibes of typing on a keyboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
{verse 3}
Getting a hold of myself before I bend and break
I don’t wanna burst into flames and call you vile names
So, I keep still, for healing is nearby to rescue me from this chaos doubts
Silence whispers in my ears that are eager to hear of your whereabouts
{refrain}
Hopeless romance
Won’t help me at all
I am in this dance prance
Standing tall, but I fall
Enhance my success mentality
Enchanted by the opposites attracting
Leaning on failure has its fatality
Why am I overreacting? Under-thinking?
{chorus}
I’m angry at myself…for giving up so easily
Why do I get ticked off? He said it teasingly…
But, I get offended because I’m sensitive…
I take things far too seriously…but I stay attentive…
My mind constantly active…
My fingers are responsive…
To the vibes of typing on a keyboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
{verse 4}
My mind has gone another route it seems
God is good to me always
Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross for our sins and broken dreams
Broken by the seams these days
{bridge}
However,
I’m not finished yet
With this journey of on-and-on-and-on-I-GO
Why am I regretting being upset?
Is it my fault that we don’t have the same flow?
{refrain}
Hopeless romance
Won’t help me at all
I am in this dance prance
Standing tall, but I fall
Enhance my success mentality
Enchanted by the opposites attracting
Leaning on failure has its fatality
Why am I overreacting? Under-thinking?
{chorus}
I’m angry at myself…for giving up so easily
Why do I get ticked off? He said it teasingly…
But, I get offended because I’m sensitive…
I take things far too seriously…but I stay attentive…
My mind constantly active…
My fingers are responsive…
To the vibes of typing on a keyboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my-getting my-getting my-
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my-getting my-getting my-
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
Getting my feet off of leaning-on-failure dashboard
{coda}
We aren’t on the same demented boat as I have soon come to realize
We were on the same page at one point…now, comes the distress
You hypnotized me by your jam on the radio before my ears and eyes
What’s the point of trying when trying leaves me dying in success?
I keep-I keep-I keep trying
Though, I’m frankly dying…denying the fact that you have…landed from your flying…
