lyrics

Failure's just another place
That you can leave at any time
You don't need courage to be saved
It's quiet underneath the waves
Beneath the ocean of your mind
It's surviving which makes you brave

We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel

The past is just another state
You can always make the time
Laws of half-life & decay
Torment answers to a name
Lights your self-pity like a sign
Invite them in but they can't stay

We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel
We don't need this but I want to be here
Somehow you make the impossible easier

A near-miss at the circle again
I laugh like a fool
Lost in a thought of you again
I've never been cool

We don't need this but I want to be here
All my life for someone else at the wheel
We don't need this but I want to be here
Somehow you make the impossible easier
