I don't think these pills are working
Maybe I just need a bigger dose
I can still feel all the hurting
Peace of mind i wish for most
How do you heal a pain
That's deeper than physical
an alarm screaming in my brain
telling me to walk away from it all
this is not what i imagined
my life would turn out like
i'm not quite sure what happened
seems ten years passed over night
It's funny how life has a way
of getting real when you're lost in a dream
I looked in the mirror today
and met a man I've never seen
I can't escape this feeling
I wish i could take it all back
I had no way of knowing
That it could get this bad
I never wanted to play this game
you cast your votes for me
Now on my inauguration day
I have become your failure king
I've spent so much time running
from a past i can't escape
I couldn't see my future drowning
in all my fear and hate
the tattoos on my skin
remind me of the path I chose
I said this was a war you cannot win
but that seems like so long ago
I'm staring at the bottle
there never seems to be enough
alone i'll drown my sorrows
I can't let them see me give up
Not strong enough to fight it
The hate inside has won
i'll wear your crown of failure
this king i have become
I can't escape this feeling
I wish i could take it all back
I had no way of knowing
That it could get this bad
I never wanted to play this game
you cast your votes for me
Now on my inauguration day
I have become your failure king
