Little Stabs At Happiness Lyrics - Artificial Sweeteners - Fujiya & Miyagi

keep your friends at arms length 

its no coincidence that I've tasted 

pervasive patterns of negative 

excuses 

we built shipwrecks out of relationships 

we used expletives as bandages 

a matchstick struck sparks a flame 

sparks a flame (extinct?) 

we invented little stabs at success 

we looked around, we haven't found it yet 

a spark extinguished before its ignited 

a spark never met 

we attempted little stabs at happiness 

failed attempts at (?) 

we attempted little stabs at happiness 

failed attempts at 

we built shipwrecks out of relationships 

we used expletives as bandages 

a matchstick struck sparks a flame 

sparks a flame (?) 

we attempted little stabs at success 

we looked around, we haven't found it yet 

a spark extinguished before its ignited 

a spark never met
