Second Place

I've been breaking my back for the last two years
For you to sit here and say
What i have isn't important anyways
There's more to life than the music you play

I know people would kill for a chance at the top
But this isn't your crop
Maybe it's time to put your dreams aside
And face reality

Can't you see that this is all we know?
Every line is just a falling note
There's a limit that just can't be crossed
Without bringing up everything that we lost
And we are so weak
Fragile kids with something that we call unique
This is why i can't be on my own
Without reminding myself that i'm all alone in this

You know that this is what i need
But you try and keep it away from me
We fail with every song we wrote
But we carry on with a somber tone
The air is leave my chest to free
The victim of something you can't see
I can't describe your words of hope
But i can dictate those words you spoke

I've seen people worse off than me
Try to think of a time
Where i gave shit of what people thought of me and my friends
We're falling off right into the deep end

Oh my god, just take it and run with and write your words and fail your test
You're just a rookie after all, we don't expect much
