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
