lyrics

"System Is Failing"

Beauty means nothing as my face melts,
It peels and takes with it my heart felts
Don't you know you're prettier when you're sad?
Cry baby, cry baby until it fades

Just like a flower blooms in the spring
It peels and takes with it most painful things
This cycle spins clockwise around sorrow
Cry baby, cry baby and let it go

Are you ready? Are you ready to feel ugly?
X3

Love me don't hate me
It's not my fault we crave it
System is failing. Woah
Love me don't leave me
Ease is in jeopardy
System is failing. Woah

Porcelain skin isn't everything
We see cracks as it dries in the sunlight
Don't you know we love seeing these flaw appear
Die baby, die baby you're done round here

If my ghost isn't so polite
I'll still haunt but never how I wanted
I can't wait to hate me for eternity
So live baby, live until it fades

Are you ready? Are you ready to feel ugly?
X3

Love me don't hate me
It's not my fault we crave it
System is failing. Woah
Love me don't leave me
Ease is in jeopardy
System is failing. Woah

Hey!
Hey hey hey
oooohh woah

Love me don't hate me
It's not my fault we crave it
System is failing. Woah
Love me don't leave me
Ease is in jeopardy
System is failing. Woah

Love me don't hate me
Hey! Hey!
System is failing.
Hey! Hey!
Love me don't leave me
Hey! Hey!
System is failing.
