《Failure》歌词

[00:00:00] Failure - Swans (天鹅乐队)

[00:00:00] Written by：Michael Rolfe Gira

[00:00:22] And I I've been lonely

[00:00:27] And I I've been blind

[00:00:31] And I I've learned nothing

[00:00:35] So my hands are firmly tied

[00:00:40] To the sinking lead weight of failure

[00:00:50] I've worked hard all my life

[00:00:55] Money slips through my hands

[00:00:58] My face in the mirror tells me it's no surprise

[00:01:05] That I'm pushing the stone up the hill of failure

[00:01:17] They tempt me with violence

[00:01:22] They punish me with ideals

[00:01:25] And they crush me with an image of my life that's nothing but unreal

[00:01:34] Except on the goddamned slave ship of failure

[00:01:44] I'll drown here trying to get up for some air

[00:01:52] But each time I think I breathe

[00:01:57] I'm laid on with a double share

[00:02:01] Of the punishing burden of failure

[00:02:11] I don't deserve to be down here

[00:02:16] But I'll never leave

[00:02:19] And I I've learned one thing

[00:02:24] You can't escape the beast

[00:02:28] In the null and void pit of failure

[00:02:47] When I get my hands on some money

[00:02:52] I'll kiss its green skin

[00:02:55] And I'll ask its dirty face

[00:02:59] Where the hell have you been

[00:03:04] I am the fuel that fires the engine of failure

[00:03:14] I'll be old and broken down

[00:03:18] I'll forget who and where I am

[00:03:21] I'll be senile or forgotten

[00:03:26] But I'll remember and understand

[00:03:30] You can bank your hard earned money on failure

[00:03:41] I saw my father crying

[00:03:45] I saw my mother break her hand on a wall that wouldn't weep

[00:03:53] But that certainly held in

[00:03:57] The mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure

[00:04:07] My back hurts me when I bend because I carry a load

[00:04:15] My brain hurts me like a knife hole

[00:04:20] Because I've yet to be shown

[00:04:24] How to pull myself out from the sucking quicksand of failure

[00:04:45] Some people live in hell

[00:04:50] Many bastards succeed

[00:04:53] But I I've learned nothing

[00:04:58] I can't even elegantly bleed

[00:05:02] Out the poison blood of failure
