about

My girlfriend told me I need to write more romantic songs, but I was playing a lot of GTA V at the time so I wrote I song about betrayal and revenge instead. Pretty much the same thing, really.

lyrics

WHEN YOU FAIL

When I heard the phone and I saw your name, I felt it in my bones and I knew without a word; without a single breath of air; I knew you weren't really there and nothing good would come of this. So I left the house with my headphones on, not knowing where the words were going take me or which melody was going to break me but it's that defeat that kills us to live again.

I'm hoping I can be there when you fail. I want to see the look in your eyes when you realize it's over and that everything you've worked for is gone. That don't make much of me, it's true. We are both going to burn on this together and together we are going down.

So I take that pain and I close my eyes and I bury it deep inside where I can't find it till there is nothing left to hide and I stare down every demon that I have just to see who blinks first. I wish I could say that I am better than this. But I can not say, so I will dig in with both heels and I will pull blades from my back and I will raise them to the sky in proud defiance of your life.

I'm hoping I can be there when you fail. I want to see the look in your eyes when you realize it's over and that everything you've worked for is gone. That don't make much of me, it's true. We are both going to burn on this together and together we are going down.

I'm hoping I can be there when you fail. I want to see the look in your eyes when you realize it's over and that everything you've worked for is gone. That don't make much of me, it's true. We are both going to burn on this together and together we are going down.
