A hierarchy Spread out upon 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 They 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, but it does It shouldn't bother me No, no It shouldn't bother me It shouldn't bother me No, no It shouldn't bother me 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 You still won't hear (You still won't hear) you still won't hear You still won't hear (You still won't hear) you still won't hear You still won't hear (You still won't hear) you still won't hear You still won't hear You still won't hear
