Everyday it just seems to grow
Failure is who I owe
How do I stop its glow?
No one seems to know
The rise to victory seems so slow
How come I see nothing below?
Is it from being so low?
Is this where I plateau?
Why do I always do this, when I fail?
I trap myself within and leave no trail
How long will this continue, and to what avail?
Will I prevail?
Can't even look at my own reflection
Shines so bright in that direction
Shield my eyes for my own protection
Scared of my own complexion
Judge myself based on imperfection
Is this the worst form of rejection?
It spreads deep like an infection
Choosing me as its only selection
Why do I always do this, when I fail?
I trap myself within and leave no trail
How long will this continue, and to what avail?
Will I prevail?
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Branded by Failure
Living life marked by a brand
It tears me apart as it expands
Nothing seems to go as planned
Failure is in high demand
I sit and try to understand
The grand scheme of things and where I stand
Will life end up taking its command?
Will I witness death firsthand?
Why do I always do this, when I fail?
I trap myself within and leave no trail
How long will this continue, and to what avail?
Will I prevail
Will I bail
Or set sail?
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Branded by Failure
The water seems so clear
My reflection begins to disappear
It tells me I wont bail
I jump head first and tail
Under the surface is my answer
Will no longer remain unanswered
The sunlight begins to fade
It gets darker and darker and darker in this crusade
Nothing but the brand of failure shines bright
Time is running out to make this right
Darkness engulfs as I begin to drown
Which way is up or down?
My dying breath shows me my worth
Of how I was born to do great things on this earth
No longer afraid to make this climb
Will I make it out in time?
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
No matter how hard I try
Even when I rectify
Always ask myself why
I'm branded by failure
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Failure Failure
I'm branded by
Branded by Failure
