consolation prize Lyrics

What even is sleep?

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 be rough but that's nothing compared to the routine of the 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
