Failure - Swans (天鹅乐队)[00:00:00]
Written by:Michael Rolfe Gira[00:00:00]
And I I've been lonely[00:00:22]
And I I've been blind[00:00:27]
And I I've learned nothing[00:00:31]
So my hands are firmly tied[00:00:35]
To the sinking lead weight of failure[00:00:40]
I've worked hard all my life[00:00:50]
Money slips through my hands[00:00:55]
My face in the mirror tells me it's no surprise[00:00:58]
That I'm pushing the stone up the hill of failure[00:01:05]
They tempt me with violence[00:01:17]
They punish me with ideals[00:01:22]
And they crush me with an image of my life that's nothing but unreal[00:01:25]
Except on the goddamned slave ship of failure[00:01:34]
I'll drown here trying to get up for some air[00:01:44]
But each time I think I breathe[00:01:52]
I'm laid on with a double share[00:01:57]
Of the punishing burden of failure[00:02:01]
I don't deserve to be down here[00:02:11]
But I'll never leave[00:02:16]
And I I've learned one thing[00:02:19]
You can't escape the beast[00:02:24]
In the null and void pit of failure[00:02:28]
When I get my hands on some money[00:02:47]
I'll kiss its green skin[00:02:52]
And I'll ask its dirty face[00:02:55]
Where the hell have you been[00:02:59]
I am the fuel that fires the engine of failure[00:03:04]
I'll be old and broken down[00:03:14]
I'll forget who and where I am[00:03:18]
I'll be senile or forgotten[00:03:21]
But I'll remember and understand[00:03:26]
You can bank your hard earned money on failure[00:03:30]
I saw my father crying[00:03:41]
I saw my mother break her hand on a wall that wouldn't weep[00:03:45]
But that certainly held in[00:03:53]
The mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure[00:03:57]
My back hurts me when I bend because I carry a load[00:04:07]
My brain hurts me like a knife hole[00:04:15]
Because I've yet to be shown[00:04:20]
How to pull myself out from the sucking quicksand of failure[00:04:24]
Some people live in hell[00:04:45]
Many bastards succeed[00:04:50]
But I I've learned nothing[00:04:53]
I can't even elegantly bleed[00:04:58]
Out the poison blood of failure[00:05:02]
