I posted this in the "Lyrics that resonate with truth" thread earlier...But I feel like posting them here now. At first glance it seems like a malicious attack on someone else...But the backstory is that Jacob Bannon wrote it about himself. So when you read "you" think "I", as if you were talking to yourself. So, in posting it, I'd be reading it to myself...You get it.
You fail me with every fatal crush.
You fail me with every abandoned love.
You fail me with your inferno fuck me eyes,
That burn as fuel for my city and its neon lights.
Burn bright white line fever take them all.
You fail me with your new dead end dream.
You fail me with your pill box fantasy.
You fail me as love's greatest war,
That was never worth.
You were never worth fighting for.
Dying living dying living dying everyday.
Living dying living dying living everyday.
You think you are a poet.
In your eyes you are a star,
Who lives through a fantasy of rising above.
You think you're a victim,
But you live as a drunk
That has never sacrificed, that has never loved.
You think you are tragic, but I know you are lost.
You have walked the fault lines
And you have crossed them all.
This world doesn't fight you, you fight yourself,
Thinking we fail you, you fail yourself.
I'm not sure where to go from here...Most would say there's only one way...Up. But I'm not convinced that I've hit bottom just yet...I'll let you know when that happens.
