Lyrics Brand New – Failure By Design
Text:
Watch you on the ones and twos
Through a window in a well lit room
Become a recluse
And I blame myself because I make things hard
And when I wake up you’re the first to call
This is one more late night basement song
And I’m so sore
My voice has gone to hell
And this is one more sleepless night because
We don’t believe in filler, baby
If I could I’d sit this out
(This is over when I say it’s over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I’m so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Let’s say we go and crash your car
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I’m another day late and one year older
It’s failure by design
And we just want sleep
But this night is hell
I’m sick and sunk and I blame myself
Because I make things hard and you’re just trying to help
I got no gas (no gas)
I’m winding out my gears
This is one more day on the verge of tears
And my health is a joke
Now I gotta stop because the headphones broke
We don’t believe in filler, baby
If I could I’d sit this out
(This is over when I say it’s over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I’m so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Let’s say we go and crash your car
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I’m another day late and one year older
It’s failure by design
I’m out of everything
No one sleeps till we get this shit out on the shelves
It’s late, I’m faltering
But this time I got nothing to say besides
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo (Baby, I’m better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo (Baby, I’m better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo (Baby, I’m better than this)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Nothing to say besides
(This is over when I say it’s over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I’m so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
What say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I’m another day late and one year older
I’m a failure by design
