THE BALLAD OF THE MAN IN 2ND PLACE Lyrics

I scream into the void

But nobody ever listens

Maybe if I turn the formant

Down on my voice

It'll make a difference

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to do

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to prove

I work until I drop and then I think that I deserve it

Under the impression that success would come so early

No matter what the consequence I hate it and it's boring

Keep my feelings wrapped up so nobody starts to worry

I'm always so impatient that I run right in the ground

If my patience is a virtue my morality is sound

Feel the cracking under pressure that I place on my own head

If I'm not busy overworking I'm distressed and seeing red

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to do

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to prove

I scream into the void

But nobody ever listens

Maybe if I turn the formant

Down on my voice

It'll make a difference

I'm always second choice

Halted at the line of scrimmage

Silently wishing that somebody

Sees through the noise

To help me close the distance

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to do

I hope I fit in now

Cause I don't know what to prove
