Fall Of Empyrean - Failure lyrics

[Lyrics by Richard Medina & Steven Henson] [Music by Justin Burning] How could I Have been so blind? Success was meant for The chosen ones in life Not for me The lies to myself must end No reason to believe [Chorus:] I knew that it was coming But I did not prepare The final rejection Filled with utter grief I could have been angry Like I was in the past But this time, I clutched The grip of failure's hand The tears that I've wept Were never ones of joy But streams of burning For the chosen ones How many times must I fail While they succeed? Take it all away This hurt inside It's k**ing me I can't even try... So plain to see The victories in life Are not meant for me Just here to die [Repeat Chorus]
