A Failure's Wake
I lie and wait
In cotton tombs
I stage a failure's wake
And your words exhumed
My empty chest
Where hope sat blind to fate
(CHORUS)
What was nothing new to me
Was something cruel to you
A bottom line was skewed
And now there's nothing I can do...
Erase my heart
This never was for you
Replace the start
And leave the right to choose
It's getting late
My eyes stay glued
On tiles miles away
The fan sifts through
A thousand why's
I'll never tie to sense
(Chorus)
Something cruel to you
Was nothing new to me
A bottom line was skewed
And now there's nothing I can do...
Erase my heart
This never was for you
Replace the start
And leave the right to choose
(Bridge)
Cause while I writhe and wait
And hope and pray that my phone rings
And you will say, "I'm coming back to die with you." With you.
I know that you're awake and pained
And hoping you can walk away
So you can finally have the life you want for two. For two
(Breakdown)
Something new to you
Was nothing cruel to me
A bottom line was skewed
And now there's nothing I can do...
But erase this heart
This never was for you
Erase this heart
This never was for you
Erase my heart
This never was for you X2
Erase my heart X2
