Persistance keeps me from bothering the lonely streetlight focusing Persistance holds me, bathed in light I love my blinders, beautiful blinders, beautiful blinders I feel the sweet sense of failure enveloping me I feel the cool calm in crashing down for good The struggle once a hurdle is now a companion She keeps me warm at night, but she's a vampire Stripping me softly of this fire and inner light And so the coma takes me tonight, tonight Not enough to try, all you can do not to cry
