Second Place to you is the last place I ever thought I'd be

and in this race the selfish survive while the selfless suffocate in suffering

I'm choking on the words that kept us alive

So kiss me and them and all we had goodbye


Where was I?

When they kicked out the lights

and when your world turns black you can't take back

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost 


So take my hand, no, not to hold 

You could use the extra fingers to count your mistakes

because this distance has only lead to deception

a curse for every mile

a lie for every smile


Where was I?

When they kicked out the lights 

and when your world turns black you can't take back

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost 


Drown in your goodbyes, and miss what we had


Foreign tongues are burning above self-righteous heads 

you're so dexterous and articulate and i count on too many fingers and friends.

. . .and friends. 


if your body is a temple then your roof is on fire


Where was I?

When they kicked out the lights 

and when your world turns black you can't take back 

all the lines you've crossed and trust you've lost


Drown in your goodbyes, and miss what we had
