I Was Never Supposed To Win

Mmm, yeah, look at the climb

I was never supposed to win

They got the blueprint, I got the scrap

They got the shortcut, I got the trap

I list the marble, I'm digging the dirt

They keep the trophy, I keep the hearse

Still coughing breath in a rusted-out frame

Nobody here even knows my name

But I'm moving steady, I'm keeping the pace

While they're getting windy, just holding their space

I was never supposed to win

Just last longer than the rest

They were born with a ladder

I was born with a chest

Yeah, I was born with a chest

Smell the burnt rubber and grease on the cuff

Thinking they're hard when they're only just tough

The ladder is wood and the ladder is old

My test is the iron, my test is the cold

They trip on the splinter, they fall from the hype

I'm used to the gravity, I'm used to the fight

The finish line's moving, the finish line's faked

I'll take what is left when the silver ones break

I see the view from the bottom of the well

It's a long way up through this beautiful hell

Keep your guard

Keep your, keep your, keep your guard

I got the lead

I was never supposed to win

Just last longer than the rest

They were born with a ladder

I was born with a chest

They don't have the hype

I'll take the endurance

I was born with a chest

I was born with a chest
