heart failure

when i think back on this life

i guess we were doing the best we could

and to look at us from the outside

i'm sure it seems somewhat romantic

but when you've tasted excess

everything else tastes bland

yeah

we had everything to lose

but we still lived like we were about to die

after all

we were the drug scouts of america

i've begun evaporating

right before your eyes

i just keep regurgitating

my own demise

i miss today i miss the past

i miss my veins 'cause they've collapsed

a simple thought occurs to me

i'm face down on the tracks

the train is coming fast

and it's not derailing

it's not the first time

and this won't be the last

that my heart is failing

as the blood is rushing

to my head

and from my wrists

i'm in love with all the things i know i should resist

and all the times you said to me

your falling down ones destiny

a simple thought occurs to me

i'm face down on the tracks

the train is coming fast

and you're right there waiting

it's not the first time

and this won't be the last

that my heart is failing

like i was saying

the look in the eyes of death

was intoxicating

taking it into our lungs

laughing at ourselves

where others would probably cry

and more importantly

i'd probably just die

staring face to face with the demons

and not back down

takes a constitution that most people just don't have

a life gets soiled with sex

drugs and rock and roll

i'm face down on the tracks

the train is coming fast

and it's not derailing

it's not the first time

and this won't be the last

that my heart is failing

i'm face down on the tracks

the train is coming fast

and you're right there waiting

it's not the first time

and this won't be the last

that my heart is failing
