lyrics

I’m not used to faltering,
but I scratched my knees
more times than I can count

Stood with both elbows scraped
and I cried, afraid
somebody heard the sound

This shouldn’t bother anyone
We’re weaned on coldness and ache

My limbs are bitten to shreds
but the fangs were poisonless
they only chiseled me

Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far

I’m afraid that you’ll ask
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
“am I spineless and weak?”

See, somebody said
failure is cleansing
and success is confusing

Restraining tears will suck you dry
You’re trading façade for pain

All that I hear is boys don’t cry,
well you’re right:
they seem to prefer suicide

Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far
so speak your heart out

My elbows are scraped
but I’m not afraid
somebody else could clearly hear the sound
of my pain

Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far

I stand with both elbows scraped
but I’m not afraid
somebody hears the sound
of my pain

I’m afraid that you’ll ask
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
“am I spineless and weak?”

Don’t ever forget
failure is cleansing
and success is confusing

Stop restraining yourself
Break the knots of the web
that you’ve spun, and you’ll see

Like in a fade to black
All the pain you held back
is getting smaller.

Failure
is cleansing and
success is confusing

Yeah
it’s cleansing and
success is confusing.

It’s getting warmer.
