Competir

I miss competing
To see who would do it better
Knowing you were bringing out
My best self
And ending without a fight

For not finding inspiration
I knew you were conquering
The same land as me
And I didn’t want to steer
You starboard
To see if I’m still there

And we ate with our hands
And now there’s no remedy
Now we’ll have to settle for the scraps
You’ve set the bar so high and
You can’t keep it up
How much longer will you stretch that memory

I miss digesting
That you wrote me another song
And you’re no longer singing for us
We’re cannon fodder

I’ve fallen back into the illusion
Of thinking we’re getting better
And I don’t see you conquering
The same land as me

And I didn’t want to steer
You starboard
To see if I’m still there

And we ate with our hands
And now there’s no remedy
Now we’ll have to settle for the scraps
You’ve set the bar so high and

You can’t keep it up
How much longer will you stretch that memory
And we ate with our hands
And now there’s no remedy

Now we’ll have to settle for the scraps
You’ve set the bar so high and
You can’t keep it up
How much longer will you stretch that memory

I miss competing
To see who would do it better
Knowing you were bringing out
