Share the Failure - John Kruth
It happens so often
i just can't ignore
all of the omens
and the wolf outside my door
there's a constant conflict
between my life and your dreams
your knight in shining armor
has rusted at the seams
we must share the failure
i know both of us have tried
no excuse can mask the truth
so drop your foolish pride
you could be a jester
with your riddles so wise
and i the finest archer
competing for a prize
but if i split the target
i know it would be in vain
for we could live forever
and never love again
up in the attic
below winter snow
there lies a memory
black as a flock of crows
somewhere within us
there's a jail we can't escape
the bars on all the windows
can't save us from our fate
