A Failure To Make Up For All Of My Mistakes

from A Failure To Make Up For All Of My Mistakes by Mitchell Bergeron

/

lyrics

I'm not thinking about the long run
I'm just thinking about the short track
I'm trying to keep it together
But my mask is about to crack
Oh another failure to make up
for all my mistakes
I gave you all I got
There's nothing more you can take

I think about the good times
And wonder how many I got left
Because I all I focus on right now
Are past tears I've wept
So I buy some bottom shelf whiskey and fill my cup to the brim
Cause I don't want to deal with these feelings again
I want to fall asleep, but I'm so far from home
You may get lonely, yeah but I'm the one that's all alone

I'm not thinking about the long run
I'm just thinking about the short track
I'm trying to keep it together
But my mask is about to crack
Oh another failure to make up
for all my mistakes
I gave you all I got
There's nothing more you can take

Well the shadows of the city
Make me want to crawl out of my skin
I want to find a hole to die in just not the one I'm In
So I surround myself with good people
To help me feel so sane
Or at least to distract me
From the voices in my brain
But the voices in my head
Always outnumber my friends
And I feel so guilty about existing again

I'm not thinking about the long run
I'm just thinking about the short track
I'm trying to keep it together
But my mask is about to crack
Oh another failure to make up
for all my mistakes
I gave you all I got
There's nothing more you can take

Say it for me slowly so that I'll understand
All the lies I need to believe to feel like an honest man
In a society that's quick to kill and divert the blame
It's only because I'm white and a man that I'm told I shouldn't feel ashamed
But I've been wide awake for awhile now
And I can't go back to sleep
Oh I want to climb the hill but dammit the walk’s just too steep
So I wear a smile across my face
It fools most but we both know it's a fake

Well I'm not thinking about the long run
I'm just thinking about the short track
I'm trying to keep it together
But my mask is about to crack
Oh another failure to make up
for all my mistakes
I gave you all I got
There's nothing more you can take
