Larry Gus Black Veil of Fail song lyrics

You're cancer free and sun drenched in your heart

The fleets and the parts in your command

they're sent back

and then they were long years and soft rains

we tried to abstain,

our letters remained unuttered

and you overslept

names are still cancelled

and names are avenged

this is the fact

that grabs and flies and explodes in your way

it's not a maze

it drops and coughs and implodes in your face

the black veil of fail, the black veil of fail

and then you said: "don't forget the success of everyone else,

always includes failed attempts"

this is the fact

that grabs and flies and explodes in your way

it's not a maze

it drops and coughs and implodes in your face

the black veil of fail, the black veil of fail.

but why can't i figure it out for myself?

all of my efforts lead up to defect

and the success of others just makes me kneel

unable to act straight or even think clear

all heavy sleeps with sweaty pillows in heat

a life of failures condensed in a dream
