Failure of Usual Reasoning
Lyrics
Most Failure of Usual Reasoning Lyrics were written by Wes, those that weren't were written by Richie. Obviously all content of this page are (C) Failure of Usual Reasoning 2001 - 2005. Another thing that may become obvious is that there is a moderate amount of bad language in some most of these songs.
Look, we're a metal band... we can't sing about fluffy bunnies all the time, can we? Well, make that any of the time, innit.
For those of you who know us, you may notice the complete absence of any tracks that we wrote before Dying (rather, Dying Part II before we welded the other part onto it). This is because we no longer rehearse them - as much as we like some of the parts of them, they are not really strong enough to live with the more recent tunes that we've done. It's the on-going search for The Metal(TM), don't y'know. OK, here we go:

Dying Part I & Part II

Old Wounds
When I see you it burns my soul
Re-scar old wounds to heal my life
a sharp pain in the back of my mind
Makes me wonder what my life could have been like
Vulnerable to pain, I still feel incomplete
About the feelings that I felt two years ago
Life changed with a single action
You fucked my life
You took my will to live
And left me dead inside
You left me dead inside
Will you be the one to take my hand
When it's time to fight for life and love?
Will you be the one to understand
I only did the best I could
With these past three years
I struggled and I cried
I tried to make the best of this world
And my life at the time
But now I wont back down
You see I'm strong as fuck
And this positive force that drives me on
Will never die
Re-Scar old wounds
And here I lie
Waiting for my scars to heal
I see your eyes
They're full of evil but I have my fours
My wounds are scarred they're never gonna heal
Re-scar old wounds
Chaaaaaaaah!…

Sky Turned Black
The day the sky turned black
At the break of first light
Into the shadows, I felt my world was cast
To find my way without natural light
Facing my demons, to fight for life
Without my eyes
Lost
Still I struggle to find my way back
From this worse reality
Inner demons I have to face
But they know me all too well
When life's at an end, in slips decay
Show to me the end of light
Screaming, for someone o save my soul
The light of my life, is the only the thing that can save me
Usual reasoning has failed
Sky turning black
Slowly life slips away
All of a sudden I'm lost
When the evil within each soul comes out from the dark
Day the sky turned black
Honesty, compassion
Things of the past
Life, love
Never more this life
back to the top
Punished Tenfold (aka Polish Centrefold)
Suffering in silence
I grow stronger everyday
But the future's looking weak
Because your lies begin to fade
Keep pushing my patience
You fucked it up forever
Now I cant bite my tongue
It's time to fight:
Cause what you give…
Is what you get
Just want to live my life
Without your constant shit
Ill find my own way home
In my dreams I felt my hands release your life
No last minute regrets
I never thought I'd see you die like this
As you choke I feel relief
This is a manifest of your torture
As I squeeze your throat your eyeballs bleed
Choke motherfucker choke
What you give is what you get
And for every tear of pain I will punish you ten fold
Short temper is lost,
you push me to the point of uncontrolled violence
Ill punish you ten fold
Uncontrolled violence
My short temper's lost
As you choke I feel relief
And in my dreams my hands release your life
No time for holding back as I watch your life drain from your eyes
You tried to steal my soul
In turn ill take your life
What you give is what you get you see
You tried to steal my soul
Punished ten fold
For life

RKS
Poisoned by love, feeling physically sick,
It's been two weeks since I felt your skin on mine,
Now I'm loosing my mind,
I'm paranoid that you're leaving it all behind.
I only wanted your love, which I thought I had
I gave to you my heart I'll never learn…
All I wanted was to be in control of the feelings in my heart
And in my soul
Bit I dropped my guard when you opened your heart
Physically sick, because I need you and you cant be there all the time,
Did you mean the words you spoke or
Where they subconscious lies?
Now I'm going mental, I need you more than ever,
My heart will die without your touch
My heart will die without your touch
Poisoned by love
I'm off the rails again
And only you can sooth the pain,
Your skin feels way too cold,
Feels like there's something I don't know
All I wanted was your honesty
But you held stuff back, never told me the truth about your heart
And then avoided me
Honesty was all I asked off you
I just wanted a chance to tell you how I felt,
I hoped that you would feel the same, instead I realise
This could be the last time I hold you, the last time I felt your skin on mine
You threw it all away,
And drove a steak into my heart
Left me waiting on your call, thinking I suppose
You would recognise my words as a token of love
Not a reminder of demons of past lives and loves, which leave scars
I'm fighting the feeling which remain in my heart
So now over months I'll forget you
Or try to at least because fuck it you hurt my heart
I hope you enjoy life and that you get what you want
But please spare a thought for those burned by your actions
Have the guts to follow through and finish the shit that you failed to undo, wont you
Treat me with a little more respect, I opened my heart to you.
Now I see through your lies, so fuck this
Being nice to you when all I felt was pain, you said you loved me you lied
Now I wake up alone
Fuck you and your lust for fame

Guess what? Like Dying I don't have these ones yet. It's random, though.

Beer Angel
Take some time to let my mind and soul heal
My temper's ticking because I've lost it again
I need to take some time to grieve
You have to kill all the dragons to get the princess
Ans I have failed
Once again in life I've lost
But sitting here only wastes my time
Moving forward
I take another shot
Tortured: Look at the reason for your fears
Never back down or turn your back
Betrayed: A knike in the spine is hard to take
A knife in the heart could end it all
Tortured. Betrayed.
Where do we go from despair?
No love anymore
Rope tight beneath my chin
My only fear is him finding me
A cowardly way to sign off
What he gave, what they gave to me
Can't fight it any more
But I can't go on this fucking way
Self belief is the only way
To keep myself on the rails
And keep me fucking sane and so I rise
I gotta keep it this way
To make a better life for myself
Resist the past
Forget the pain
Let it all wash off your back
'Cause life's too short
Self pity only drags you down
And we could die tomorrow
And what the fuck would you do then?
So don't let the weakness show
And watch your back all of the time
And I'd like to think
That from now on all this will be fine
But that is not the fucking case
So be prepared for more of the same shit
You just dealt with
At least I'm better than Ray...

This is where i found myself,
Long way from home, destroyed my love,
Screams from my broken heart
it's bleeding cos i never thought
I'd have to make a choice like this one.
Because each time i compromise i take step closer to death
don't care about anybody else,
just writing music for myself.
Honesty the only rule i won't break
And I'm an angry northern cunt
with a death list of D grade celebrities;
Ian twatkins and James the leach
I'll break their motherfucking faces cos
they broke my peace
and Keith from the monarch can such my fucking dick
cos i won't compromise
can't have a scene full of lies
wasted so much in this life,
squandered an education,
lost all of my allies,
I'm poisoned inside
but you're waiting to die,
I'll be the one to survive.
so fuck all you bastards die,
if you don't feel that twitch in your stomach then ...
you're living a big fucking lie
Hollow inside, you're wasting your time
I'll be the one ...
Remove my hope, there's nothing left.
A waste of 10 whole years
I refuse to fall or hold my breath
I refuse to fall
I hate all you cunts, you're all wankers
with no respect for human life except you're own,
i won't line the pockets of bastards
an my morals die with me when i grow old.
i won't return you're one sided favour,
no respect for all the work that we have done
i won't line the pockets of bastards
and my morals die with me me when i grow old
usual reasoning has failed this band.
