failures - tyler trowbridge lyrics
verse 1:
when i lay down to sleep, my mind wanders off
to conversations in the past, where i said something wrong
i try to rectify the words, with what i meant to say
these moments keep me up at night, i can’t speak them away
my thoughts move on to darker things as i twist and turn in bed
the sheets begin to smother me while filling me with dread
i’m not sure what my dreams will bring, not sure where they will gooo
death comes to us eventually, like spring comes to the snow
the thought of dеath expands into a nightmare of despair
whеre i’m walking on the moon and struggling for air
my consciousness subsides, as the oxygen depletes
my body floats out into sp*ce, as the life in it retreats
chorus 1:
so i keep taking these supplements to keep these thoughts at bay
and using their ingredients to brighten up my day
i’m ok with all the knowledge that i have yet to knooooow
i’ve made peace with all my failures cause they leave me room to grow
verse 2:
awake to my alarm clock and pour the coffee in my cup
to survive the commute to work, i need a pick me up
drink even more when i get there, so i don’t fall asleep
it’s the only way i know how to support my family
feel like zombie stuck on a hamster wheel
with nothing but self*pity, and only pain to feel
the job consists of emails, and staring through a screen
to help the wealthy company, make even more money
chorus 2:
so i keep taking these supplements to keep these thoughts at bay
and using their ingredients to brighten up my day
i’m ok with all the money that i have yet to earn
i’ve made peace with all my failures cause they leave me room to learn
so on days when i’m down and out, and need a hit of dopamine
i pick up my guitar and start to write a song to sing
i write the words and soon they’ll turn, into a melody
it seems to be the only thing that truly brings me peace
