06. Failing Is Not Just For Failures

Wooden Heart
by Listener



 

 


Lyrics:

I lost my best friend to sadness
Speaking these words at arms' length
He said to shake things up as hard as you can
And if you figure it out, well by God tell everyone
He said failing is not just for failures
It's for everyone; failures just have more experience
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
I don’t need these weapons, I’ll set my heart to win
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 might need it
If I don't I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it, oh well

I lost my best friend to sadness
Even though we tried and tried, I guess we really didn't
I haven’t seen my chin since last May
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 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 if it's to heal, well my God it must be healing
It's like a knife in the heart, and we're starting to lose feeling
It'll hurt before it heals, but the pain is getting bigger
This dam's 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 fire of living it
And I'll do this for you because the world just might need it
If I don't, we'll lose hope and I'll end up losing it, oh well

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

Until I've reached the sea where I can go no further
When all these possibilities keep forcing me towards their goals
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 just 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
