Always Second Place
Always too late
Letting go of all the hate
Never letting them see how bad it hurts
Stuck in endless Deserts
No one to believe
Heart Burnt passed any degree
Always hiding pain
They look past time and time again
Running away to the south
Into the deap blue monsters mouth
Never to come out to the sky
The shadows now and forever an ally
Always trying to keep up
Wandering like a lost pup
Sometimes behind Never ahead
Just a mass constant agony and dread
Never to find another half
Knowing this by hearing they're stinging laughs
Always having to wait
The spirit they will desiccate
Almost but not quite
Forever in a loosing Fight
Just shy of first place
Always second place
