If I Fail Now

Augustana

Compositor: Dan Layus

Frayed is the feather
Dark is the dawn
I'm searching for something
Like everyone, everyone

Cold is the corner
Damp is the Sun
This is the hardest thing
I've ever done, ever done

If I fail now, fail now
I could finally rest
But, if slow down, slow down
I'm afraid I'll run out of breath
I could lay down, lay down
Try to pull this heart from my chest
But, I don't know how, I don't know how

The Moon is a mirror
Low is the light
All of these shadows
Are out tonight, out tonight

Lost is the language
Vain is the fight
I've got too many reasons
To stay alive, stay alive

If I fail now, fail now
I could finally rest
But, if slow down, slow down
I'm afraid I'll run out of breath
I could lay down, lay down
Try to pull this heart from my chest
But, I don't know how, I don't know how

If I fail now, fail now
I could finally rest
But, if slow down, slow down
I'm afraid I'll run out of breath
I could lay down, lay down
Try to pull this heart from my chest
But, I don't know how, I don't know how
