Failing Is Not Just For Failures

Well, I lost my best friend to sadness Speaking these words at arms length He said, he said to shake things up as hard as you can And if you figure it out by God, tell everyone He said, said, failing is not just for failures It's for everyone, failures just have more experience But, but you can't quit now, you have to climb all night Climb each and every one of their towers, and show them your life But if I'm a quitter now, I promise I'll quit her in the end Well, I don't need these weapons, I'll set my heart to win With the, with the weight of the world trying to stop me Breathe out, then inhale my little heartbeat And I'll do this for you, because the world just might need it If I don't, I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it, oh well Well, I lost my best friend to sadness Even though we tried and tried, I guess we really didn't, well I haven't seen my chin since last May I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold my breath Let's all hold our breath together And turn this graveyard into a garden and grow from here We give, we give words to colors and swear we're not blind We are the living ones, clamoring around on top of everyone But it has to hurt of if it's to heal, my God, it must be healing It's like a knife in the heart, and I'm starting to lose feeling It will hurt before it heals, but the pain is getting bigger This dams about to go, and I'm running out of fingers It'll hurt, but it will heal, I'm starting to believe it Eyes wide open in the darkness, but I really can't see it It's burning right now, and I want you to feel it somehow But without the pain of knowing it Breathe in and exhale the, the fire of living it And I'll do this for you because the world just might need it If I don't, I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it, oh well Because when, when all is lost, I won't think of you There's nothing in this world that ghosts can do No matter what's ahead, I'll push on through For your life or through your death, I'll keep on I'll keep on (and on, and on) And I'll keep on, and on and on Until I've reached the sea, where I can go no further When all these possibilities keep forcing me towards the goal Confronted with their true self, most men run away screaming With nothing as their enemy, it's hollow, and it's whole stuffing sorrow in their souls Until all hope is lost in the infinite I won't ever say goodbye because there's no good in it I'll stay the course, you've sailed away While my path leads to God only knows I'll finish this race, you've quit so early I'd invite you to swim, but drifting is not swimming And this is it, you've given me no choice But to use mere words to stay alive, while you've paid them no mind And I'll tell stories about your life, you are no hero, but I'll lie Because, when all is lost I won't think of you There's nothing in this world that ghost can do No matter what's ahead, I'll push on through For your life or through your death, I'll keep on I'll keep on (and on and on) And I'll keep on (and on and on)
