Lyrics for Failure by Design as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Failure by Design Lyrics
Watch you on the ones and twos
Through a window in a well lit room
Become a recluse
And I blame myself cause I make things hard and you're just trying to help
And when I wake up you're the first to call
This is one more late night basement song
and I'm so sore
My voice has gone to hell
This is one more sleepless night because we
don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I'd sit this out

(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(And I ignore it and it ignores me too)
What say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design

And we just want sleep
But this night is hell
I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself
cause I make things hard and you were just trying to help
I got no gas
Winding out my gears
This is one more day on the verge of tears
And now my head hurts
And my health is a joke
And now I gotta stop cause the headphones broke
We don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I'd sit this out

(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(And I ignore it and it ignores me too)
What say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design

I'm out of everything
No one sleeps till we get this shit out on the shelves
It's late, I'm faltering
This time I got nothin' to say besides...
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters today)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters tonight)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters today)
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.
Nothin to say besides...

(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
(And I ignore it and it ignores me too)
What say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
I'm a failure by design

They got some great songs on this album..I went to school with the guitarist, he's a very talented guitar player. It kind of wierd seeing them get this big considering i've known of them for a while on LI and I've known the guitarist since elementary school. I hope they make it big they deserve it, its alot better than alot of the crap thats out there.

i think this is one of the last songs written for the album

its a song about writing a filler song.... but they cant make it sound like a filler song even though it IS a filler song but they wont admit to it because its too good sounding to be a filler song so they say "no, its NOT a filler song because were rock stars, we rock out with our cocks out, we dont BELIEVE in filler."

yes.

that is what i think they think about the song.

confused yet? or did i make perfect sense?

by the way, does anyone else hear, "i dont want myself pickin at a chip in my shoulder..." or "and i want" or "and i watch" something of the sort, instead of "so i walk." ? because so i walk just doesnt make sense to me, maybe i just dont get it...?

here's a true story of procrastination . . .
brand new was opening for a local band in my town, but it was during finals and i had a 15 page paper due by 9am the next morning. instead of staying home, i went to the concert, hung out afterwards and didn't get back to my dorm until 2am. i wrote until my brain hurt (which was around 4:30) then went to bed for 3 hours, woke up at 7:30 and finished the last 5 pages, then ran to hand it in. and i'm proud to say i got a b+ in american ethnic literature because of that paper. i've got procrastination down to an art form. now if only that was a major . . .
