Lower

Lower
I will never feel the ribbon break
I will never taste sweet victory
I don't want to leave the rest behind
I don't want inscription on a plaque

Never first or second place
I won't ever run your rat race
I will always be lower than you
I won't be your competition, lowest
Totem pole position is where I'd rather
Stay than be like you
I don't feel the animal instinct
I am not on top of the food chain
The only battle I will fiercely fight
Is one that hibernates inside my head
Be the best, climb the ladder
Do it better, higher, faster
I refuse to participate
If I go up it will be slow I'm bringing
Everyone I know and stopping on the
Sixth of seventh rung
On a pedestal, isn't the veiw great
You better watch your step cause it's
A nasty fall, when no one's there to
Catch you when you call
