The Hope Conspiracy - Failure Lyrics

The threat of innocence
slashed ear to ear
all too much to take year after year
the mark of failure
a song in passing
a likeness within gray matter
suppress the tears for too long
and become a timebomb
this is the bed I make
this is the pain you gave
the threat of innocence slashed ear to ear
all too much to take year after year
an author to a tragedy
writing in the pages of my misery
a victim in the dirt
never forgetting these exit wounds
no spark in these eyes
and all but a memory
a portrait in mind and heart
every waking moment
with their knife to my throat
