Failure Lyrics - Singles - Kate And Corey

The olive tree thats branches fill with peace and second chances 

Warms the ether on the far horizon line. 

And Im trying just to reach it if I cant do Ill just teach it but 

Thats such an awful way to compromise. 

When cigarettes have filled the tray and daytimes just to far away 

I sometimes waste my time just to ignore 

The fact that if I make it so I never, ever make it 

I will never have to win and never lose. 

So I learn to do my dances while the moonlight just enhances 

My ability to fool myself again. 

Page by page in blackened books I pretend Im a star. 

And in my room I cant believe Ive gotten half this far. 

CHORUS: Failure! Such a sweet disguise 

Failure! Underneath my eyes 

Never! Will I let myself 

Ever! Admit that I dont really know what Im dong here. 

Just another day in Paris of maybe today it Tokyo 

Its hard to keep mu bearings straight you know. 

The ceiling tiles still look the same and everyone still knows my name 

But Im sure its just coincidence, Im sure. 

The girl that brings me coffee gently smiles and rolls her eyes at me 

But I tell myself that everyones insane. 

And back to work I go I know I play a lot of solitaire 

But it really helps me focus in again 

And Im waiting for the next train in a station deep in my brain 

With my ticket to the future in my hand. 

Turn by turn I always seem to end up right back here. 

I need to find a way to silence all these hopes and fears. 

CHORUS: Failure! Always looks the same 

Failure! I can always blame 

Failure! On the outside world 

Never! Admit that I dont really know what Im doing here. 

INST. 

And tears will sometimes fill my eyes when something on the TV 

Makes me realize how much more I could have done 

Starving kids in Zimbabwe and music schools in Kenya 

But instead i chose to stare into the sun. 

And Im trying to ignore it but its getting so much louder 

And Im not sure what Im doing anymore {2x}
