[Verse 1] So close to finding out, but drifting further everyday Inhale the smell of d**h, defeat my purpose anyway But deep inside I do confide, yet keep on losing all the time Never take a step back when it seems like the losing move I won't give in, I won't give up, I've still got something left to prove And deep inside I won't subside and keep on losing all the time (yeah, all the time) [Pre-Chorus] Squirm like the vermin that you are You thought I'd never get this far How does that sinking feeling feel? I'll show you what I know is real
[Chorus] Clutching defeat from the jaws of victory [Verse 2] This time I'm stepping out to find out what went wrong with me Leaving no stone unturned I can't forsake this mystery But finding out might leave a doubt of what I think I have become (what have I done?) You think you've got it all, you've just got more that you can lose I won't accept your help because my mine you can't diffuse Knowing defeat too well I waste my time on what I dwell upon (I can't go on!) [Pre- Chorus] [Chorus]
