Lyrics

Failure to Operate

You can't escape the night that we've thrown you to

Pulling no shadows, you're cast into the

Unknown with shame of ever knowing you

Pain will be an infinity

Now every bit of your hands turn grey

Shaking life away, bring a loathsome touch

Your motives clear, your screaming lungs

I hope you hate the feeling of being a victim

With every word you say I can't find the reasons, reasons

We fail to operate

I can't find the reasons for you

With every passing day I can't find the reasons, reasons

We fail to operate

I can't find the reasons for you now

Your screams will last for hours

It’s now the only thing that I hear

Your words will burn like paper

They'll turn to ash and resonate within

Burn down into

A black hole should be your fate

With every word you say I can't find the reasons, reasons

We fail to operate

I can't find the reasons for you

With every passing day I can't find the reasons, reasons

We fail to operate

I can't find the reasons for you now

Can't find the reasons for you now
