[Verse 1] Static in my bloodstream, signal full of noise Every clean intention buried under broken choice Tried to write it perfect, tried to play it safe But the lines all blurred when the system gave Every door I opened led to somethin’ bent Every “almost right” just added to the debt I was chasin’ clean, but clean don’t exist It’s a shattered mirror tryin’ to coexist [Pre-Chorus] I kept countin’ losses like they meant the end Didn’t know the fracture was the way it bends Every fault line hummin’ underneath my skin Say it’s failure… I call it where I begin [Chorus] Fail it forward Yeah, fail it forward Every misfire, every disorder Turns into somethin’ I move toward Fail it forward Break it, distort it Every wrong code, every error recorded Built what I am from what got aborted [Verse 2] Blackout in the blueprint, rewired design Every wrong direction redrawin’ the line Tried to cut it out, tried to purge the stain But the ghost in the system kept sayin’ my name Every scar’s a language, every glitch a sign Every time I crashed I was realigned You can’t sanitize what you had to survive It’s the burn in the wire that keeps it alive [Pre-Chorus] I was lookin’ for a way to erase the mark Didn’t know the damage was the missing part Every breakdown buildin’ something I can use Call it failure… I call it fuel [Chorus] Fail it forward Yeah, fail it forward Every misfire, every disorder Turns into somethin’ I move toward Fail it forward Break it, distort it Every wrong code, every error recorded Built what I am from what got aborted [Bridge] Cut the signal Kill the sound Watch it break me down to the ground No restart No clean slate Just the ruins I recreate Error… error… re-code… re-form Pressure… pressure… becomes the norm [Final Hook / Outro] Fail it forward Fail it forward Fail it forward No way around it Everything I tried to bury Turned into the ground I’m standin’ Fail it forward Yeah, fail it forward Every misfire, every disorder Turns into somethin’ I move toward Fail it forward Break it, distort it Every wrong code, every error recorded Built what I am from what got aborted
