TORMENT OF THE FAILURE

[Verse 1] I should have studied harder I should have stayed awake I should have read the warnings I should have learned from my mistakes I watched the teacher talking But never heard a word I thought the lessons didn't matter I thought the stories were absurd They told me not to wander They told me where not to go They told me about the demon But I thought that I would know [Pre-Chorus] I should have listened I should have stayed I should have noticed The signs they made Every warning Every name Every story Wasn't a game [Chorus] This is the torment of the failure Every mistake comes back again I should have studied I should have listened I should have known where not to run This is the torment of the failure Every wrong turn follows me I ran toward freedom I opened the red door Now there's nowhere left to be [Verse 2] I heard them talking softly At lunch beside the stairs They said the halls were dangerous They said that she was there They told me never follow They told me not to stare They said if I saw Alice I should never enter there I laughed and called them frightened I thought they wanted fun I thought that all their warnings Were stories made for everyone [Pre-Chorus] I should have listened I should have known I should have turned around Before I went alone Every warning Every sign Was trying to save me But I left them all behind [Chorus] This is the torment of the failure Every mistake comes back again I should have studied I should have listened I should have known where not to run This is the torment of the failure Every wrong turn follows me I ran toward freedom I opened the red door Now there's nowhere left to be [Verse 3] The teacher chased me through the hallway I thought I knew the way I saw the red door waiting And thought it meant escape I didn't see the warning I didn't read the sign I only saw an exit And thought that I was fine I pulled the handle quickly I threw the door aside And found myself inside her room With nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] Wrong direction Wrong mistake Wrong decision Too late I could hear them In my head Every warning That they said [Chorus] This is the torment of the failure Every mistake comes back again I should have studied I should have listened I should have known where not to run This is the torment of the failure Every wrong turn follows me I ran toward freedom I opened the red door Now there's nowhere left to be [Bridge] Why didn't I listen? Why didn't I learn? Why did I keep running? Why didn't I turn? They tried to warn me They tried to explain I thought I knew better Now I know their pain I failed the lessons I failed the test I failed to notice The danger right ahead And now the school is quiet But I can hear them say You should have listened You should have listened You should have listened [Break] Wrong answer Wrong hallway Wrong door Wrong choice Wrong warning Wrong turn Wrong place Wrong time [Final Chorus] This is the torment of the failure Every mistake comes back again I should have studied I should have listened I should have known where not to run This is the torment of the failure Every wrong turn follows me I thought the red door meant freedom But it only brought me deeper in This is the torment of the failure I finally understand The demon wasn't waiting for me I ran straight into her hands [Outro] I should have studied I should have listened I should have stayed away I should have known The warnings were never lies I just didn't listen
