Failure To Thrive Lyrics - Faith And The Muse

The season's over 

The season's done 

Too slow to notice 

The fire's gone 

So thin on the ground 

With a chemical heart 

And a cheap excuse 

I've played my part 

A torch to the error 

And a cold hard look in the eye 

I wonder why 

You still wander 'round in rain 

A torch to the error 

And a cold hard look in the eye 

I ask you why 

You still wonder... 

Run as long as you can 

'Til you know what I mean 

Not even the rain 

Can make me clean 

The content of those tiny hours 

Contemplate the price of those shadows 

Ever screaming toward the anvil 

What was the price of those shadows, brother? 

A torch to the error 

And a cold hard look in the eye 

I wonder why 

You still wander 'round in rain 

A torch to the error 

And a cold hard look in the eye 

I ask you why 

You still wonder 'round in rain 

A face to the terror 

And a long sharp stick in the eye 

I can't deny 

My trespass in poor domain 

A face to the terror 

And a long sharp stick in the eye 

I still decry 

Your judgment 

Your vanity 

Your name 

(Carry on) 

I found a new ring; taught it to believe again 

No broken memories remain -- no bloodsick "friends" 

The years behind us have all taken wing 

In ill-remembrance of a Mad Drunk King 

Those who go hiding all their tears in wine 

Will find that they've grown rotten on the vine 

So carry on, dear brother -- I wish you well 

(Just carrion) 

With brighter days in mind -- so long -- farewell
