Participation Trophies
A conflict of interest is reached
I put up with attempts to teach
All the ways I am failing & how I am paling
To safer ways to find my niche
Like how all of my friends who are happy to spend
Time to frame their success on a wall
They somehow have less fear cause they spent 2 more years
While we all wander through the same hall
Fantastic for them, their suffix will prove that was smart
But how can I use participation trophies for art
The true mental slip's when I lose all that's been honed
Tension has built; there's no muse left to postpone
The clock only ticks when I move up the time zone
I'll make myself known and go it alone
Begs the question: what gives me conceit
To put the system under my feet
This implies I'm above rather than thinking of
Running near with no need to compete
In this lane as I'm inclined, without 2 yellow lines
You speed long enough you stop reading the signs
So I'll make an exit and take the long way
40 on Coast Highway until the next day
Still plenty of time, I'm barely out of the gate
Give me a year, while I make the best of our free state
The true mental slip's when I lose all that's been honed
Tension has built; there's no muse left to postpone
The clock only ticks when I move up the time zone
I'll make myself known and go it alone
Tell me how to live like this, tell me how to lift like this
Extra weight's made up of us, while I'd take all that falls
Show me how to work like this, show me all these perks like this
World is the same as the last time you could make my call
The true mental slip's when I lose all that's been honed
Tension has built; there's no muse left to postpone
The clock only ticks when I move up the time zone
I'll make myself known and go it alone
Tell me how to live like this, tell me how to lift like this
Extra weight's made up of us, while I'd take all that falls
Show me how to work like this, show me all these perks like this
World is the same as the last time you could make my call
I put up with attempts to teach
All the ways I am failing & how I am paling
To safer ways to find my niche
Like how all of my friends who are happy to spend
