lirik lagu mythictune - second place
everything’s…crawling…
or maybe i’m just that fast…finally
violet’s hands are halfway up, purple fl!ckering
mom’s frozen mid~turn at the controls
the missile’s right… there…
just hanging in the air like a photograph
and i can see exactly where it’s going to hit
i could never race time before…
always had to let it win
“don’t be too fast, dash”
“let the other kids keep up, dash”
“second place is great, dash!”
second place is just first loser, mom..
and you made me practice losing every single day
ten years old and never won a real race
never felt a real medal
never heard a crowd cheer for what i actually am
just partic~p~tion trophies for partic~p~ting in my own lie
“everyone’s special” means no one is
but i was, mom… i was…
but there’s something faster than me
something i never trained for, never saw coming
death doesn’t run ~ it just arrives
already here before the race begins
predetermined finish line
and my muscle memory kicks in
even now, even now i hesitate
that trained hesitation ~ that one second of “don’t be too fast”
that second that’s about to cost us everything
vi, your force field’s not going to work…
(i can see the cracks already forming in the purple light)
mom, you’re turning into the missile’s path, not away
(you can’t see the trajectory like i can)
dad… dad’s not here
dad’s somewhere else, probably blaming himself already
jack~jack’s safe at home with that weird babysitter
at least… at least he won’t see this
won’t remember this
the lucky one who gets to grow up not knowing
how we died trying to save dad
if i could just move faster
if i could break through this frozen second
if i had trained, if i had pushed, if i had been allowed
maybe i could grab mom and violet..
but i’m moving through molasses
through all those years of suppression
through the weight of “slow down slow down slow…~”
time’s starting again
i can feel it pulling forward
the missile’s moving now, inch by inch getting faster
violet’s shield’s going up but it won’t be enough
mom’s screaming something about children
and i’m running but i’m already too late
was always too late
second place to death
second place to fate
second place to…~
