Failing Miserably

I try to be good
Play everything by the book
But the shelves are nearly full
And soaked in ethanol

I try to be warm
Be a light to move towards
But the three dog nights
Have really cut me down to size

I've been trying to outrun the machines
They've got me surrounded and dropping to my knees
It's getting harder to be human at this speed
But I keep trying and failing miserably
Failing miserably

I try to find my smile
To be weightless like a child
But unclaimed suitcases
Stay on the carousel

I try not to be scared
When there are people everywhere
When push comes to shove
I like it when you hold my hand

I've been trying to outrun the machines
They've got me surrounded and dropping to my knees
It's getting harder to be human at this speed
But I keep trying and failing miserably

I've been trying to outrun the machines
They've got me surrounded and dropping to my knees
It's getting harder to be human at this speed
But I keep trying and failing miserably

Failing miserably
Failing miserably
Failing miserably
Failing miserably
