All My Failures

Addressing a prayer

Into the air

And the shadows of satellites

So nobody heard

Love's not four words

In a world at the end of its night

Oh everyone that left me

They're so easy to forget

'Cause I haven't let my failures hit me yet

Your voice on the phone

The blood from the stone

And tears that I can't understand

As if I could heal

With guilt I don't feel

Or by silently giving my hand

Well I'm sure "I never loved you"

Can be too fierce and too correct

'Cause I haven't let my failures hit me yet

May my demon reveal himself tenderly

May he not leave me broken

May he leave my to be

So wherever I'm bound

My ear to the ground

And my thoughts on their way back to you

As eternity's slave

You can write that on my grave

When I've finished resisting its truth

And while I'm shaking hands with darkness

It's with the warm wind that I admit

That I haven't let my failures hit me yet
