Failure
[Verse]
Who the fuck am I anymore
I wanna be many things but cannot explore everything, I mean the vendetta over my head for being a better me by any means is catching up to me because I know that
I cannot achieve anything
My music ain't perfect, not even through the editing, I sound like I'm prepubescent not like I'm over 17, and even then my sales make not dollars but pennies and I try harder and harder but
Something's holding me back
Something been holding me down and hanging around my head since I got out of my bed this morning I feel like I would rather be dead
Am I really happy or am I really depressed, I mean
Nothing I want and nothing earning respect. I mean
Many regrets and nothing raising my head. I mean
Look at me now I should be miserable
Misery loves company and she's the only one left. I mean
What if they're right? I'm just destined to fail?
Only enter contests to see that nobody cares
Only making projects to find it all go to waste
Instead of hearing people like it I'm bombarded with hate
And I still say what if they're right? I'm destined to fail?
Throw away this opportunity like everything else
Never make another song, I'll just quit today
I know some people out there wanna hear me say it

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a failure
Nothing more than a husk of a man
A waste of oxygen
A face without its grin
A life just thrown away
What the fuck is there left to say?
That I'm a loser?
A kid who's living in his dreams
And chasing fallacies
Just to be happy
Yet he's stuck to reality
Is there nothing there for me?
Cause I'm a failure
Nothing more than a husk of a man
A waste of oxygen
A face without its grin
A life just thrown away
What the fuck is there left to say?
That I'm a loser?
A kid who's living in his dreams
And chasing fallacies
Just to be happy
Yet he's stuck to reality
Is there nothing there for me?


[Chorus]
I'm a failure, I know it
There's nothing to be proud of here
So why bother?
I'm a failure, I know it
What am I to say to my folks
And my father?

I'm a failure, I know it
There's nothing to be proud of here
So why bother?
I'm a failure, I know it
What am I to say to my folks
And my father?
I don't know
