"The Failure" lyrics

"The Failure"

Give it away, watch it turn - there's nothing I can do for you
These are my very last and don't we all know it...
As chemistry turns into crime
I'm helplessly watching it die

You were never supposed to be
Someone who'd get this close
This is not my victory
Get your sickness away from me
Accusation in velveteen
Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me...

Show me a way, something frail
Gimme one reason to break these chains
I played your very last - all your desires
But something inside of me broke
I used to be more than this ...

You were never supposed to be
Someone who'd get this close
This is not my victory
Get your sickness away from me
Accusation in velveteen
Tear it up, tear it open and lay it beside me...

Together we fall
Together we fail

Drain me from all life inside
I will hurt you ever so carefully
We will breathe in unison through an iron lung
For the lost things we become
I'll be your crown of thorns
You'll be my cross to bear

You hate me so good!
