lyrics

There was a boy
Who’d sell his soul to prove that he could be a man
It would give him joy
To the jump the gun and hope you’d later understand

We’re so sorry,
Please forgive the bitterness of winning and a humble embrace
It’s so funny
The symptom of self loathing isn’t common
For people like you, people who never come in
Second Place

When he’d take his turn
He’d make the others look like garbage compared to art
If the world should burn
He’d keep on marching to the beat of his own heart

We’re so sorry,
The competition wishes you would run with a tangled shoelace
It’s so funny
To vandalize a paralyzed notion
That’s just like you: someone who never falls in
Second Place

We’re so sorry
The lies we told you no longer apply here, when you’re a head case
It’s so funny
Depression and perfection correlating,
So suffer for first or settle in repose for
Second Place.
