Fail-safe Lyrics by ​atlas ivy

yourself or others

2022

[Intro]
90 in a 60 late at night
I grip the handle ‘til my knuckles turn white
I always hate this but I come despite
Guess without my glasses I have blurry foresight
[Verse 2]
I see blinking red dots on a traffic light
It’s a warning that it’s not working right
Oh, I point it out
And you say: “just sit tight”
So I pray to god
Or to my hematite
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, once again, you took it too far
But you know I’ll always be there to clean your scars
[Chorus]
Call us fake, call it fate, I’m your fucking fail-safe
You play the victim, beat the system
And I take the blame
You come back crying, come back lying
I’d stay either way
I used to miss you until I grew
Now it’s all the same
’Cause a fail-safe is reliablе until it ain’t
[Verse 3]
Do you weaponize the fact that you need support?
Arе suicidal jokes now just a way you extort?
’Cause every helpful thing I say seems to fall short
You can ruin your own life
Just don’t let me get hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, once again, you took it too far
But I cannot always be there to clean your scars
[Chorus]
Call us fake, call it fate, I’m your fucking fail-safe
You play the victim, beat the system
And I take the blame
You come back crying, come back lying
I’d stay either way
I used to miss you until I grew
Now it’s all the same
’Cause a fail-safe is reliable until it ain’t
A fail-safe is reliable until it ain’t
