The Week of August 1st by The Impossibles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, I go down to my deepest depths
And lost the things I'd learned to accept
Like faith in promises
And I think about the truth I hold
Compared to the bitter fruits of getting old
Just like my father says

[Chorus]
This is a test
To see if my worst still can beat my best
This is a test
A measurement of my failure at success

[Bridge]
It's just my sophomore jinx
It's all come back to me
I built up bad times in the cracks in my securities
But will I steer right? (Steer right)
Will my laundry stay white? (Stay white)
Whenever I lose sight of my plight? (My plight, oh)
[Verse 2]
But I still turn my back look the other way
Sustain myself, all work no play
It's life, but it's far form living
And my views become naturally corrupt
When my friends and enemies get mixed up
My lesson's learned after the fact

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
This is a test
To see if my worst still can beat my best
This is a test
A measurement of my failure at success

[Outro]
And this is a test
(And when my palms get sweaty, I can't read the answers on my hands)
To see if my worst still can beat my best
And this is a test
(And when my palms get sweaty, I can't read the answers on my hands)
A measurement of my failure at success
