BACKFIRE! - Pushing My Failures Away



Pushing my failures away

Pushing my failures away
Pushing my habits
away
Pushing my sorrows away
You can"t see my real face
Because I"m pushing
my failures away

I call on my guardian angel
I"m begging and screaming out
loud
Because if this won"t stop it will kill me
My conscience is eating me
out

If I had the guts to confess
The strength just to clean up this
mess
What I would give just to forget
The habits, the hurting, the poison,
the nights out
They are still here, so I think I"ll have to keep…

Pushing
my failures away
Pushing my habits away
Pushing my sorrows away
You can"t
see my real face
Because I"m pushing my failures away

Waiting for something
to stop me
Before I collapse from the weight
The guilt that I"m carrying with
me
My life is filled with lies and filled with persuasions
But underneath I
feel and hear the echo of my soul screaming

Hold on I"ll lead you the
way
Holding on to yesterday
The memories beg me to stay
God, I"m throwing my
life away

Guilt is not easy to hide
With angels and demons inside me
calling out
The devil puts up a hard fight
It"s trying to keep the angels out
of my sight

I keep
Pushing my failures away
Pushing my habits
away
Pushing my sorrows away
You can"t see my real face
