Failure to React

from Operating in Unsafe Mode by Figures

/

lyrics

VERSE
Devil eyes
Desire staring me blind
Does it delight in the ways that it finds me pushing away?
Stick to the better roads
Stick to the same back and forth battle of pleasure and shame
Stick to the better roads
Stay in the safe lane again

CHORUS
Back to back,
Another failure to react
But staying alive
Means to stay in the light
And I know this style of life
Is in spite of my
Fighting the right
To have what I want
So back to back,
Another failure to attack
My body’s intact,
But my mind is a wreck
‘Cause it came - It went - It’s gone
And now I’m facing the fact that it’s never coming back

VERSE
Silhouette
A dark shade of regret
Could I revive and restore
To retry for an opportunity ignored?
What’s left to talk about?
What’s left to say?
Other than this self deprecation display
What’s left to talk about?
What’s left to weigh in on anymore?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
No, It’s never coming back no
It’s never gonna show
Next time will be right
The next time around
Next time will be right
The next time around
Next time will be right
The next time around
But this time it’s never coming

CHORUS
