The Ongoing Concept - Failures & Fakers lyrics

Failures and fakes and those who don't get their way All seem to have excuses for how they think Justified, dignified, they all pledge their innocence And I would know because, because I'm one of them It's through expression that we make our understanding Are we who we are if it's who we appear to be? Let me tell you friends, I've found out the hard way Imitations don't produce originality Don't, don't, don't, don't think I've escaped I'm just as guilty Because we're all failures and fakes And if you won't believe it Well then I've seen your future It's not that impressive Excuses, excuses we got 'em all, they're weighing us down We all got faults, we all got faults But no one seems to be blaming themselves Friends, I've found out the hard way Hypocrisy runs free when you talk as if you're blameless Don't, don't, don't, don't think I've escaped I'm just as guilty We're all failures and fakes And if you won't believe it Well then I've seen your future It's not that impressive But if you're not willing to be reasonable then I'll be leaving Because there's no use in trying to change the proud or heal the ungrateful Heal, heal the ungrateful but you know better than I do That your walls are falling down, and there's no way for you to stop it This is no one's fault but your own So stop running from your problems Because they won't fix themselves We're all broken, we're all so broken It takes a man to acknowledge his weakness We're broken, we're all so broken It takes a man to acknowledge his weakness There may only be a speck in your eye But denial's gonna keep it there, keep it there Yes I know there's a plank in my eye, but I'm willing Willing to admit it You got no trouble finding sin in my eyes But all that changes when it seems like it's your neck on the line
