Rely On Failure

Dark circles where my eyes should be, go ahead and disappoint me I have come to rely on your failure, like a bird relying on a broken wing My heart a wreck of what it once was Peeling back my skin, you can see this mess Unfulfilled I live out my nightmare, knowing I will never find that place of joy The place of peace where both of us can live No, it doesn't exist and it could never We are the perfect example of misery You need someone nothing like me I need someone nothing like you A pretty face, a constant grace With the strength to give up everything We are the perfect example of misery
