My Future Life as a Damned Failure (Redux)

from The Desert Years by Burnt Norton

/

lyrics

Now I know just how she felt, the doctor that watched you die, seeing you through the last ten seconds of your life. Under the dark weight of navy storm clouds, the moon is full the trees are bowed; it's going to be one hell of a rough night. If I can just, if I can keep it together.

Is this my future life as a damned failure? Is this why I'll never be happy here? Is this just the blood in my veins that keeps my hope this near?

The smell of dead leaves and ether, they said there's nothing to save here, the doctors would watch you die while I set about saving your goddamned life. if I can just, if I can keep it together.

Is this my future life as a damned failure? Is this why I'll never be happy here? Is this just the blood in my veins that keeps my hope this near?

The owls cry, the stars discuss, I've seen bad nights but this is the darkest. If I can just, if I can keep it together.
