You can't live
Until you die
You can't hand the truth to give
Until you lie
You can't breathe
Until you choke
You gotta laugh and leave
When you're the joke
You can't be good
Until you cry
Until you look under the hood
You can't fix the parts, let alone try
You can't truly wake
Before your first sore love
Tears your heart to break
Then flies away a bloodied dove
You can't speak
Until you've learned to stay silent
You can't reach the final peak
Without getting a little violent
You can't fight
Until you've been beaten
You can't achieve flight
Until you've already fallen
You can't...
You can't...
I can't say all this
Because I never got past my failures
