So fast, so fast
Run this race
Come in last, come in last
Makes you no weaker than the pack
As if they weren’t in the same situation and place
Marred by some form of distain and some form of disgrace
Show your focused flaws
Dig in hard, bloody your claws
As if it’d be wrong to not
Fight with everything you got
And when you go down make sure there’s nothing left to give
That’s what you told me so many times
Told me to gouge out my eyes
If ever I was blinded by my own sight
But you were wrong
As if I had no free will of my own
You brought me down with you
I forgive myself
For the words I was spoken to with
I forgive you
For persuading me that they were true
I’ll go down with better words
Hurt, just a four little letters
Hate, just the same
Love, no bigger but better
At healing the pain
I’ll make sure there’s nothing left to give
I’ll forgive myself and you in the very same breath
As if this is all that there is
