The Forgotten Pt. 3: Full-Time Failure

+ Show full styles

[Intro]
[Immediate anxious clean guitar riff]
[Fast restrained drum pulse enters quickly]

[Verse 1]
Alarm clock screaming 5 AM
Same cheap tie, same train again
Half awake and underfed
Trying not to fall behind instead

Office lights bleach out the day
Dead-eyed people wasting away
Smile and nod and play along
Like fifty hours makes this strong

[Pre-Chorus]
[Building tension]
I sold my car to save on gas
Still watching every paycheck crash
They tell me I should budget more
While I’m counting coins at grocery stores

[Chorus]
[Emotionally overwhelmed lift]
I’m a full-time failure
Working just to barely breathe
Every month takes more from me
While they tell me “work harder”~

Full-time failure
Can’t afford to get sick anymore
Rent climbs higher than before
And I’m still scraping by~

[Verse 2]
Walk home freezing in the rain
Same cracked sidewalks every day
Phone bill, power, groceries
Choosing what survives this week

They say “live within your means”
Like I’m wasting cash on stupid things
No vacations, no nights out
Still one bad week from losing everything

[Pre-Chorus]
[More emotional pressure]
Too broke to build a better life
Too “rich” for any help tonight
Overworked and overqualified
For every door they lock outside

[Chorus]
[More desperate energy]
I’m a full-time failure
Working overtime to drown
Every ladder breaking down
Before I even reach it~

Full-time failure
Every year costs even more
While I collapse behind closed doors
Trying not to disappear~

[Bridge]
[Instrumentation strips back]
[Quiet exhausted vocal delivery]
I stopped checking my account last week
Stopped answering my family

I skipped dinner three nights straight
Just trying to keep the lights on

And honestly...

I don’t think this life wants people like me to survive~

[Instrumental Swell]
[Emotional distorted guitar rise]
[Restrained background scream textures]

[Final Chorus]
[Exhausted defeated delivery]
I’m a full-time failure
Spent my whole life being told
If I worked hard I’d be okay
Guess that was a lie~

Full-time failure
Nothing left for me to give
And I don’t think I want to live
In a world that works like this~

[Outro]
[Distorted guitars slowly fade]
[Soft room ambience]
[Hard stop ending]
