Keeping me awake
In someone's second place
Resting at my finest moment
Maybe one day you will find out just what you've come to
Recognize as all your fairy tales left you afraid
Hiding your best bet and all lights are off
While closed captioned days have spilled you out
Honoring paces at which you've run yourself out
Searching for breath in this race of familiar shame, shame, shame
Ashamed and afraid
You guess while I suppose, this ongoing motion cued me into
What it's worth, this place is all too familiar
Maybe one day you will find out just what you've come to
Recognize as all my fairy tales leaves you afraid
Honoring paces at which you run yourself out
I'm searching for breath in this race of familiar shame, shame, shame
