Failed to Live Songtext
von Binary Order

I can barely stand as the pressure builds and builds on my back
And the eyes of a man made god that doesn′t care now turns away
So the world falls from me and all that stayed has turned black
Nothing but the pain and regret of loss that's in me will remain

My hands begin to shake as I try to weather this
All I have ever known is how to endure through all of this violence
But I can′t take the pressure as the tide breaks
As my eyes begin to roll back I descend down into my fate

So as I fall I reach out to hold on - to anything that I can
Oh but my grip just slips away
So I succumb branded by my mistakes that I'll never outrun or change
Left here to die in a life that has failed to live

Dragged further down each day these depths begin to crush me
And it's clear that the damage is done there is no going back
There′s no one here to answer the screams that just echo endlessly
Just my own contorted reflection that I can′t bear to look at


How much ruin and obliteration can I take?
How much can I hold inside me 'til my foundations will all break?
Cause I can′t recognize what I've become
And I can only find the way down no matter where I run

So as I fall I reach out to hold on - to anything that I can
Oh but my grip just slips away
So I succumb branded by my mistakes that I′ll never outrun or change
Left here to die in a life that has failed to live

Endless in the way that I feel this
Yet still I hold on for a life that I know I will never witness

Every moment drags me further
And I've lost sight of the surface
All my roads lead to this wasteland
And all my attempts to leave are worthless

So as I fall I reach out to hold on - to anything that I can
Oh but my grip just slips away
So I succumb branded by my mistakes that I′ll never outrun or change
Left here to die in a life that has failed to live
