lyrics

i finished at the height of my high school
they said i could do whatever i wanted to do
i thought about it for a while
and then i answered with a smile

i choose failure
failure and regret
failure and dreams i never met

i learned to follow rules and be repressed
my parents were so proud of my success
i could say that it was fun but i'd be liar
four years like a match with my head on fire

i choose failure
failure and regret
failure and dreams i never met

it's a long way down
there's so much further to go

all alone feeling blue
never knowing what to do
boils acne hail and snow
stubbing each and every toe
never getting out of bed
they picked someone else instead
burned out faster than a comet
wake up in a pool of vomit
you can't even touch your toes
we all know where your money goes
popping pills playing dumb
make pretend you're having fun
old and fat and weak and bald
you waited but they never called
having sex with rabid squirrels
beaten up by little girls
too much pot fart a lot
they all laughed when you got caught
no one asked you to the dance
someone stole your underpants
up all night sleep all day
looks like that rash won't go away
public pervert secret shame
you've only got yourself to blame
wait but never get your turn
the lessons that you'll never learn
a perfect moment but you spoiled it
flush your goldfish down the toilet
falling down stairs long nose hairs
that's really nice but no one cares
is there more i'm not sure
i got it bad there aint no cure

for failure
failure and regret
failure and dreams i never met

it's a long way down
there's so much further to go
