Second Best

Swallow bitter cyanide
Stand on broken glass
The truth will come and find you
As it kicks you in the ass

Her pedestal of perfection
Is what I sit beneath
Hunt me, beat me, chase me down
Kick me in the teeth

Dancing barefoot, hot cement
My heart is cracked and burned
A fatal flaw of character-
I never truly learn.

I'm swallowing the cyanide
And joining all the rest
So fucking sick and tired
Of being your second best...
