Send "I Fail" Ringtone to Cell

You are sure because you are pure
I stand and I wave at the dots on the shore
Trying to reach out to a few dozen more
May as well bash out my brains a bit more

You know because you always know
You talk to god by fax and by telephone
Bitterness makes you a person
Lucky for you that you're right for certain

I fail, I fail, I fail

I am wrong even in this song
I've been up all night flying kites in a vacuum
Only smashing things trying to make sense
Of the past and the present and the future and all of the rest

Send "I Fail" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I think this song is about someone who feels that they're good for nothing, so there's no use in even trying. Whether it's trying to get a good job or be successful with women. No matter how hard they try, they'll never succeed.

    Anyways amazing song, I wish it made it onto the actual Stupid Dream album. This kinda sounds like Radiohead.
