Failing Upwards
Is this real life or am I asleep?
Everyone collectively stuck in a dream.
Believing in things they don't understand.
Pushing us closer to the very end.
They ridicule first then question not at all.
No new revelations just the same old song.
How many times must we go into the night?
Just to improve our vision but never gaining in insight.
Can you tell me where we're landing?
Cos I think we are descending... Oh oh oh
Failing upwards just as you might.
Banking on things never getting put right.
Spiraling downwards as time goes on.
No new revelations just the same old song.
How many times must we stare into the light?
Just to fill our minds but never gaining in insight.
Can you see what's right in front of you?
Do you even know what to do? No no no
Failing upwards just as you might.
Banking on things never getting put right.
Spiraling downwards as time goes on.
No new revelations just the same old song.
I'm sick and tired of talking to the wall!
If I had my way I'd bring the wrecking ball!
What is the point, when nobody ever learns?
They'll just film it for the views then watch the whole thing burn.
Ridicule first, and question not at all...
Can you tell me where we're landing?
Cos I think we are descending... Oh oh oh
Failing upwards just as you might.
Banking on things never getting put right.
Spiraling downwards as time goes on.
No new revelations just the same old song.
Are we reaching heaven?
Never, never, yeah, that sounds more like it.
Are we reaching heaven?
Never, never, yeah, that sounds more like it.
Failing upwards just as you might.
Banking on things never getting put right.
Spiraling downwards as time goes on.
No new revelations just the same old song.

Believing in things they don't understand.
Pushing us closer to the very end.
They ridicule first then question not at all.
No new revelations just the same old song.
