Failing Is Not Just For Failures

I lost my best friend to sadness

speaking these words at arms length

he said: to shake things up as hard as you can

and if you figure it out by god tell everyone

he said: failing is not just for failures

it's for everyone, failures just have more experience

but you can't quit now, you have to climb all night

climb everyone of their towers, and show them your life

but if I'm a quitter now, I promise I'll quit her in the end

I don’t need these weapons, I’ll set my heart to win

with the weight of the world trying to stop me

breathe out, then inhale my little heartbeat

and I'll do this for you, because the world might need it

if I don't I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it (oh well)

I lost my best friend to sadness

Even though we tried and tried, I guess we really didn't

I haven’t seen my chin since last may

I’m gonna hold my breath. Let's all hold our breath together

and turn this graveyard into a garden and grow from here

we give words to colors and swear we're not blind

we must be the last of our kind, claiming all the world as if we'll never die

we are the ones living right now clamoring around on top of everyone

but it has to hurt of it's to heal, well my god it must be healing

it's like a knife in the heart, and I'm starting to lose feeling

it's gonna hurt before it heals, but the pain is getting bigger

this dams about to go, and I'm running out of fingers

it'll hurt but it will heal, I'm starting to believe it

eyes wide open in the darkness, but I really can't see it

it’s burning right now and I want you to feel it somehow,

but without the pain of knowing it

when all is lost I won’t think of you

there's nothing in this world that ghost can do

no matter what's ahead I'll push on through

for your life or through your death, I’ll keep on

Until I've reached the sea where I can go no further

when all these possibilities keep forcing me towards their goals

confronted with their true self most men run away screaming

with nothing as their enemy it's hollow and it's whole.

stuffing sorrow in their souls

until all hope is lost in the infinite

I won't ever say goodbye because there's no good in it

I'll stay the course, you've sailed away

while my path leads to God only knows

I'll finish this race, you've quit so early

I'd invite you to swim but drifting is not swimming

and this is it, you've given me no choice

but to use mere words to stay alive. while you've paid them no mind.

and I'll tell stories about your life, you are no hero but I'll lie...

because, when all is lost I won’t think of you

there's nothing in this world that ghost can do

no matter what's ahead I'll push on through

for your life or through your death, I’ll keep on
