starting line by Ethan Mask

well i know it's hard
to fall back on the starting line
but hey it's what you are
a loser then and a loser now

well maybe you should try a little harder
despite getting my back up against the wall
i never felt so small

hey let's decide
to reward my conscience with the lie
and maybe this time
die a little every night
'cause we give away our prize
to whoever fucks the loudest
in our star jaded eyes
that you will never see again

and why don't we just celebrate
the mediocracy
with our hands in each other's cake
'cause we don't have our own

and hey you get a trophy
for coming dead fucking last
'cause we don't want you to feel bad

well maybe i should
find a reason to give a damn
'cause i've felt hard-pressed i could
if i even started again
'cause i'm so far down the line
i don't remember how to give the college try
'cause i dropped out to soothe my wounds
and 'cause i couldn't afford it

well i know it's hard
to come back to the starting line
but hey it's what you are

a survivor then
and a fighter now
