Silver and Bronze

Verse 1

Concrete

Cold feet

I drag my heavy boots across the lobby tile

The manager just stares

He doesn't care

I'm just a resume inside a crooked pile

Left behind

Always behind

Waiting on a chance that never comes

Numb

Chorus

I'm taking the silver

I'm taking the bronze

Lost in the current

Lost in the pond

Trying to breathe

Trying to see

Trying to be

Something more than a ghost in the hallway

Just a ghost in the hallway

Verse 2

No phone calls

Empty walls

I count the cracks until the plaster starts to peel

Nobody stops

The penny drops

Nobody asks me how I actually feel

Same face

Same place

Watching all the winners take the prize

Tired eyes

Tired

Spent

Chorus

I'm taking the silver

I'm taking the bronze

Lost in the current

Lost in the pond

Trying to breathe

Trying to see

Trying to be

Something more than a ghost in the hallway

Just a ghost in the hallway

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow I'll find a new way

Maybe tomorrow I'll have something to say

Maybe tomorrow

The water gets shallow

The water gets clear

I'm still here

Chorus

I'm taking the silver

I'm taking the bronze

Lost in the current

Lost in the pond

Trying to breathe

Trying to see

Trying to be

Something more than a ghost in the hallway

Just a ghost in the hallway

Outro

Last place again

Last place

My only friend

Holding my breath

Holding on

Still holding on
