Futility: ...Failed Lyrics

...Failed

Let go, of what they told you.
Forget, the lessons of life.
Relax, and let it consume you.
Idle by, as darkness rolls in.
Unseen, vapours yearn for sleep.
Cough, that fumes imbue.
Well sealed, you pipe in an ending.
Time slows, replay your regrets.

Fallen from grace.
Cautions glances, turned backs.
You failed.
Try to redeem.
Pity breeds contempt.
You failed.
Start anew.
Baggage dredges the past.
You failed.
Live in spite,
But yearn for the lost.
You failed.

No escape, no hope.
No choices, no future.
On thought, one option.
One end, one life.

Every time I tried the deck was stacked against me.
Seeing you every day reminded me of failures.
I never had a chance my actions preordained.

Let go, of what they told you.
Forget, the lessons of life.
Relax, and let it consume you.
Idle by, as darkness rolls in.
Unseen, vapours yearn for sleep.
Cough, that fumes imbue.
Well sealed, you pipe in an ending.
Time slows, replay your regrets.
As I fade black and white turn to grey.

With a gasp I realise what is slipping.
Too late judgement clears from emotion.
No peace is found as the world falls away...
