A hierarchy Spread out on the nightstand The spirit of team Salvation is another chance A sore loser Yelling with my mouth shut A cracking portrait The fondling of trophies The null of losing Can you afford that luxury? A sore winner But I'll just keep my mouth shut It shouldn't bother me But it does The small victories The cankers and medallions They keep me thinking That someday I might beat you But I'll just keep my mouth shut The little nothings It shouldn't bother me But it does If I speak at one constant pitch At one constant rhythm right into your ear,
