Settle for less, watch it waste away, disintegrate into infinity
Nothing left of a never was, fade away into obscurity
Empty container painted like a human being
A machine programed for mediocrity

Never go away, I am your never ending failure

You can pass me off, you can shut me out
You can knock me down, I'll get back up
I'm never gonna go away, no
Pry your life from my cold dead hands

You can pass me off, you can shut me out
You can knock me down, I'll get back up
I'm never gonna go away, no
Pry your life from my cold dead hands

Someday you'll die all alone, unmarked grave in your home
I'll travel to alien worlds, something you will never know
A lifetime spent treading water only to drown
A house of cards well built is still doomed to fall

Never go away, I am your never ending failure

You can pass me off, you can shut me out
You can knock me down, I'll get back up
I'm never gonna go away, no
Pry your life from my cold dead hands

You can pass me off, you can shut me out
You can knock me down, I'll get back up
I'm never gonna go away, no
Pry your life from my cold dead hands
