always the one that trails behind
i'll never have the confidence
that you do
you're so great; you make my fingertips numb
i wish i were just like you
in all your lonely, hateful glory
cold nights just
aren't the same without you
to make them meaningless and more cold
tweezer out my lungs
carefully; slowly
place them back in the wrong position
stifle my breath that little bit more
shine a torch into my throat
and you'll surely get swallowed
then nobody would have
to listen to you ridiculous words
leave me be; seated
in this pit
i can feel the water around my waist
not cold, just right
leave me to drown
i'm just second best
