Gift of Failure Lyrics

Have you seen his eyes
He traded them to a blind man
The blind man set tied to a chair
Creature of darkness, no longer
Some will try the gift of failure
There's nothing to hear
That hasn't been heard
Glued to the mirror
Hands through his hair
The faceless appears, forgotten
Some will try the gift of failure
Have you seen his eyes
He traded them to a blind man
Still on the tracks
Can't see the train
Creature of lightness, no longer
Some will try the gift of failure
Nothing to see
That hasn't been seen
He shouted for days
Sung just for fun
The careless appears, forgotten
Some will try the gift of failure
And some will try...
The gift of failure

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
