A Small Victory

A hierarchy

Spread out on the nightstand

The spirit of team

Salvation is another chance

A sore loser

Yelling with my mouth shut

A cracking portrait

The fondling of trophies

The null of losing

Can you afford that luxury?

A sore winner

But I'll just keep my mouth shut

It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't

no

no

It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't

But it does!

The small victories

The cankers and medallions

The little nothings

That keep me thinking that someday

I might beat you

But I'll just keep my mouth shut

It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't

no

no

It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't

But it

but it does!

It. Shouldn't. Bother me!

No

no

It. Shouldn't. Bother me.

It. Shouldn't. Bother me!

(It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't

no

no)

It. Shouldn't. Bother me!

(It shouldn't bother me

no

It shouldn't)

If I speak at one constant volume at one constant pitch

At one constant rhythm right into your ear

You still won't hear

You still won't hear

You still won't hear
