Michael Webster - Consolation Prize
I accomplish more awake than I ever could in dreams
If you never come in first place then I could be your consolation prize
And blame it on biology
You could put your belief in fate but this is what makes up you and me
If you never come in first place then I could be your consolation prize
It would be absurd of me to really say what is on my mind
I were just thinking of circumstances in those other thousand million lifetimes
Like a ship on out at sea
The waves they may bе rough but that’s nothing compared to the routine of thе week
If you ever lost that motivation then I could be the one to steer you into the light
Well he said “don’t believe everything you read”
But it’s better than that TV screen which holds you to hate everything you see
If you ever followed that direction then I could be the one to be right by your side
It would be absurd of me to really say what is on my mind
I were just thinking of circumstances in those other thousand million lifetimes
Well truly do the wolves have easy prey
I saw it in the way you graced the pavement and they followed you just like a leech
If you never get to shake their tail then I could be your consolation prize
And if your sails never again unfurl then I could be your consolation prize
And if you’re ever wondering how I’m feeling then that would be the confrontational reprise
