"Failing Redemption."
"Failing Redemption."
This is another song
About our failing redemption
All the paid dues & pensions
That we forgot to mention
It's about our drifting minds
And our dreams held in suspension
It's about the answers
To all our fucking questions
Looking for a way to find
Salvation in our own minds
I can't do it by reading lines
Out of a Holy Book against crime
And it's a crime to think
That when we sin
The further we sink
But it's when you
Get lost in a drink
That your life becomes meager
And your soul shrinks
All you gotta do is be eager
And sometimes you gotta be
The receiver
Of bad news, evil truthes
That leave you screwed
Pull you unglued
Until justifying your anger
Is all you know how to do
Until you just want to scream & shout
FUCK YOU, TOO
But I'm going steady strong
Trying hard, all day long
Even though I still went wrong
What caused our days to grow
Inevitably long?
I never got contracted at birth
Never said OK, put me on Earth
This life is a curse
I never chose to open my eyes
To the sunlight
I never thought I'd choose
Wrong over right
Or find the answers in the night
But here I am, stuck without a plan
A cigarette in hand, trying to stand
The people, the fools, girls, and the land
I was thrown in traffic
I predict the cards like Maverick
I can't submit to the urge to die
I've learned how to merge by being high
And I couldn't consider suicide
Because I lack the courage to die
But I could never disperse
The bullet that leads to my hearst
'Cuz, even though life sucks
I'm sure death is worse
And I'm sure the death blow
Will really fucking hurt
And I'm not ready to be sleeping
Under six feet of dirt
This is another song
About our failing redemption
All the paid dues & pensions
That we forgot to mention
It's about our drifting minds
And our dreams held in suspension
It's about the answers
To all our fucking questions
Looking for a way to find
Salvation in our own minds
I can't do it by reading lines
Out of a Holy Book against crime
And it's a crime to think
That when we sin
The further we sink
But it's when you
Get lost in a drink
That your life becomes meager
And your soul shrinks
All you gotta do is be eager
And sometimes you gotta be
The receiver
Of bad news, evil truthes
That leave you screwed
Pull you unglued
Until justifying your anger
Is all you know how to do
Until you just want to scream & shout
FUCK YOU, TOO
