The Failed Man (Remastered)
The Failed Man
Remastered
By J.C. Solis
I am a man deeply troubled within
I do not know from which road to begin
For I cannot face the weight of my din
The darkness inside that comes from my sin
I am a man who is fearful of pain
A pain that won’t cease and always remains
A pain that won’t leave; that won’t ever wane
A pain that slowly now drives me insane
It’s fear that I failed, that I am now done
The fear that my failure has at last won
A fear from which won’t ever let me rise
It won’t let me work despite my own cries
You see, I’ve so many chances to change
Yet my inner thoughts I can’t rearrange
Deep inside, no matter how much I push hard
I cannot make do, I cannot push far
I was in my hands, my future was bright
And now I cannot defeat my own blight
I lost my own way, I lost my own light
Now I can’t see, I lost my own sight
I lost my dreams, my hopes, and my joy
As avolition now makes me its toy
A feeling of failure, so was its ploy
For, with me, it did
