lyrics

Tell me does it matter if I make you cry?
Tell me does it matter if I shake you dry?

You’re bitter and you’re angry now
And you always have been
You hate it when your friends do well
So tell me something, one thing, one thing

Did you fail at life?
Did you fail at life?
Did you fail at feeling
Something other than nothing
Cos it scared you, right?

You missed the laughter, you missed the light
You took a left when you should have turned right
You pushed away when you should have held on
And now you’ve got nothing to show

Did you fail at life?

Tell me does it matter you’ve become a bore?
I’ve got a funny feeling that you’re not too sure

You seem to think a victory
Is when you hurt me
The scales are falling from your eyes
And you’ll see something, one thing, one thing

Did you fail at life?
Did you fail at life?
Did you fail at feeling
Something other than nothing
Cos it scared you, right?

Did you fail at life?

Love this album because it blends classic tones of rock, psychedellia and romance with wonderful lyrics. Songs are very well structured and as somebody may say "less is more". Filip Lukic
