fail-safe

90 in a 60 late at night
I grip the handle till my knuckles turn white
I always hate this but I come despite
Guess without my glasses I have blurry foresight

I see blinking red dots on a traffic light
It's a warning that it's not working right
Oh I point it out and you say just sit tight
So I pray to god or to my hematite

Oh once again you took it too far
But you know I'll always be there to clean your scars

Call us fake, call it fate
I'm your fucking fail-safe
You play the victim, beat the system
And I take the blame
You come back crying, come back lying
I'd stay either way
I used to miss you until I grew
Now it's all the same
Cause a fail-safe is reliable until it ain't

Do you weaponize the fact that you need support
Are suicidal jokes now just a way you extort
Cause every helpful thing I say seems to fall short
You can ruin your own life just don't let me get hurt

Oh once again you took it too far
But I cannot always be there to clean your scars

Call us fake, call it fate
I'm your fucking fail-safe
You play the victim, beat the system
And I take the blame
You come back crying, come back lying
I'd stay either way
I used to miss you until I grew
Now it's all the same
Cause a fail-safe is reliable until it ain't
A fail-safe is reliable until it ain't
