The title track for the 2004 You Fail Me album appears in the seventh slot of the record, which features a noticeably slower convergence of metal and hardcore—a standout from Converge’s normal discography.
Combining vocals and screams of different cadences throughout, Bannon is essentially narratin...
You fail me with every fatal crush
You fail me with every abandoned love
You fail me with your inferno fuck me eyes
That burn as fuel for my city and its neon lights
Burn bright white line fever take them all
You fail me with your new dead end dream
You fail me with your pill box fantasy
You fail me as love's greatest war
That was never worth
You were never worth fighting for
Burn bright white line fever take them all
Dying living dying living dying everyday
Living dying living dying living everyday
Dying living dying living dying everyday
Living dying living dying living everyday
You think you are a poet
In your eyes you are a star
Who lives through a fantasy
Of rising above
You think you're a victim
But you live as a drunk
That has never sacrificed
That has never loved
You think you are tragic
But I know you are lost
You have walked the fault lines
And you have crossed them all
This world doesn't fight you
You fight yourself
Thinking we fail you
You fail yourself
You fail yourself
You fail yourself
You fail yourself
You fail yourself
You Fail Me was written by Jacob Bannon.
