Sixx:A.M. - Heart Failure Lyrics

When I think back on this life,
I guess we were doing the best we could
And to look at us from the outside
I'm sure it seemed somewhat romantic
But when you've tasted excess
Everything else tastes bland
Yeah, we had everything to lose
But we still lived like we were about to die
After all, we were the Drug Scouts of America

I've begun evaporating
Right before your eyes
I just keep regurgitating
My own demise

I miss today; I miss the past
I missed my veins, 'cause they collapsed
A simple thought occurs to me:

I'm facedown on the tracks
The train is coming fast
And it's not derailing
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing

As the blood is rushing to my
Head and from my wrists
I'm in love with all the things
I know I should resist

All the times you said to me
That falling down was destiny
A simple thought occurs to me:

I'm facedown on the tracks
The train is coming fast
And it's not derailing
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing

Like I was saying
To look into the eyes of death was intoxicating
Taking it into our lungs
Laughing where others would probably cry
And more importantly would probably just die
To stand face-to-face with your demons and not back down
Takes a constitution that most people just don't have
A life that's soiled with sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll

I'm facedown on the tracks
The train is coming fast
And it's not derailing
It's not the first time
And this won't be the last
That my heart is failing
