#silver plaque

My name is on a silver plaque I’ll always be left in the back

I’ll never be the number one And though I’ll try I know It’s not enough

Even second place is a hopeful state Surrounded by the greatest How can I say that I am unique I am unmatched

I have the skills and talent that I truly lack I have a chance I have place It all comes creeping in that this is a mistake It’s not even worth a dream and I am still awake

I’d lie if I said I wasn't jealous I keep on singing when I am breathless I try to reach ranges, nothing ever fucking changes I’ll never be enough to make it on the big stage

I know that I am good I’m just not good enough What about this useless stuff Is memorable and worth how much I’m giving I’m living in two worlds Living endless lives Nothing seems to matter and Nothing’s worth the time

Everything I do will never amount To something bigger, greater no In creeps in the doubt Saying:

I am unique I am unmatched

Let’s be honest That’s a lie you’ll never be that I have no chance I don’t have place

I don’t have anything worthy enough to play Worthless you are nothing what makes you think any other way?

Forget everything you’ve ever learned All you’ve ever earned All you’ve reassured

All the things you thought that you achieved Don’t be deceived You really believed?

It means nothing You aren’t becoming Something greater You aren’t cunning

Just keep running Nothing’s coming Annoying humming All that’s rushing out

Flooding Keep on judging You’re just bluffing Now confronting

Truth that’s bubbling Stupid strumming Mindless numbing Feel it shutting down

Try your best You won’t succeed

A silver plaque Is all you’ll ever receive

I’m not unique I can be matched

Nothing special Just another hopeless hack

There was no chance Never a place
