You Were Failed 04:29
lyrics

You're not a failure You were failed And we're not broken No, but we're not whole Honesty As much as I can hide it away It's something we cannot debate You have hallowed me And I've starved for you Watching wishes fade away Like displaced years of childhood Everything I've ever known Is growing old They always said it would This is divorce You are leaving me to better things And I'm finally the one worth bettering I now know relief And I'm finally the one worth bettering We're not failures We're the failed And we're not broken No, but we may never be whole Dreamless sleep Stains on carpets Years of rust What lies unmentioned Undiscussed Has been gathering Dying to be new You hear a song that sounds like me It's trying to tell you something Well, I've been trying to And you've been trying too

It's only now That I'm finding out Your love has conditions And I've been conditioned You lonely you You remind me I always thought one day I'd just get better I think you wanted that for me too Today was an argument and I always back down All the compassion I never had for myself I'm starting to feel it now Practice being yourself You always try to be someone else You lonely youth Bloom, you are worth you

These are the last two songs we recorded with our drummer Titus, who passed away in August 2018. It's a way of remembering him, expressing the connection and musicianship between us, and a way of saying goodbye to a chapter of something the three of us loved. Titus was one of the most talented and humble people we ever met.
