In competition for the worst first line I could use

Conversation for the first time

Find salvation and breathe in each breath that I choose

In competition for the worst time

Brooklyn lies bleeding in the afternoon

Always 4 to 5 steps from misfortune

To drown out moments of revelation

In competition for the worst time



I know my name but I can't deny

I talk in silence like I'm used to



Graduation fits the worst time I could use

Confidence for the first time

Take the money and the drink you are going to abuse

In competition for the worst time

Glasgow lies bleeding in the afternoon

A practical response to good fortune

I dream my moments of revelation

In competition for the worst time



And though I know my name

I still can't deny

I talk in silence like I'm used to

No matter how hard I try

I talk in silence like I'm used to
