To Live for Longer Slides

The art of failure really has no school There is no handbook on how to be a fool If it makes any difference to you I trembled here before you Always hoped if I listened to you, we'd chase the dark away I wrote it all in a book of songs That no one ever sings I'm sorry I left you nothing more I was never one for things Hours, there were hours, so many hours When I just don't know where I was There were better versions of me I miss them now they're gone They had to break It was my mistake to think they'd always carry on And when the trembled beast's upon me And most of me is gone I hope you find a way that heals So you, alone, can carry on I know it's raining But did you have to build an ark You go easy now, that's how religions start But who will you listen to when the trembled beast comes calling Will the ones that I listened to cradle you the same I wrote it all in a book of songs That no one ever sings I'm sorry I left you nothing more I was never one for things Hours, there were hours, so many hours When I just don't know where I was There were better versions of me I miss them now they're gone They had to break It was my mistake to think they'd always carry on I stand and point and I distract you I do it just for fun But I do the same just to shift the blame When I can't control what's going on When I get tired a loop within me Clicks and switches on And what it says is where I am for days I see no good in anyone Can you still see the love that's hidden When I slide and cut you down Cos that's the me I swore I'd never be The saddest form of hand me down I try to hide the thirst within me The damage that it brings Sometimes I need the way it heals So I don't feel a single thing And when the trembled beast's upon me And most of me is gone I hope you find a way that heals So you, alone, can carry on
