Failed State - Imitationofmane

Between the devil and the deep blue sea Between a rock and a carbonised tree And everyone quite easily says, bye I banished all when I went away I never said what I wanted to say And everytime I brought it up I failed I hate myself when it gets to this I'm just a coward when it comes to it And everytime I try to reach I fail If everything was different now How different would I be?

I banished all when I went away I couldn't face standing there all day Tryna think of clever things to say I bailed If everything was different now How different would I be? If I could change one thing around Would that pattern still be complete? What kind of person have I really been?

Pride you took, pride you feel Pride that you felt when you'd kneel Not the word, not the love Not what you thought from above It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows) It clouds all that you will know Deceit, deceive Decide just what you believe I see faith in your eyes Never you hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the God that failed Find your peace, find your say Find the smooth road on your way Trust you gave, a child to save Left you cold and him in grave It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows) It clouds all that you will know Deceit, deceive Decide just what you believe I see faith in your eyes Never you hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the God that failed, yeah I see faith in your eyes Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the God that failed Pride you took, pride you feel Pride that you felt when you'd kneel Trust you gave, a child to save Left you cold and him in grave I see faith in your eyes Never your hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the God that failed Follow the God that failed, yeah Broken is the promise Betrayal, betrayal, yeah

Maybe it's ok it's fine But you're going to try to pretend You're not losing your mind You'll break coz you won't let it bend And you failed your mission again When you can't get what you want You search through the night Shadows on the road Remind you of a different time You're chasing that faded light I love to hear your lies When you tell me we'll be friends I can see it in your eyes I'll never see you again A broken heart is never the same Although you can try to pretend All that sadness will run through your veins Maybe we should just be friends There's heartache around the bend Loving isn't a crime You sneak around like a fool You did the same last time You'll break coz you won't let it bend You failed your mission again
