[Verse 1]
Scouter cracks
I’m still standing
Dust on my armor
Same old scene
Your back’s ahead of me again
Blue sky
Broken ground between
Blood in my gloves
I start laughing
Pain tastes like promise on my tongue
Every defeat just keeps asking
“How bad do you want to overcome?”
[Chorus]
I’m the prince of second place (hey!)
Chasing you right through the flames
Always one step from your shadow
That’s the fuel inside my veins
If I’m always breathing hard
Just behind your blinding light
Then I’ll turn this wounded pride
To the sharpest edge in the fight
Prince of second place
I’ll be first to never die
[Verse 2]
You look up
Smiling at the sky
Like it was easy all along
I clench my teeth
Crack through my limit
Turn my anger into song
Throne made of shattered expectations
Crown made of scars on my skin
Royalty means nothing here
If I surrender what’s within
[Chorus]
I’m the prince of second place (yeah!)
Chasing you right through the flames
Always one step from your shadow
That’s the fuel inside my veins
If I’m always breathing hard
Just behind your blinding light
Then I’ll turn this wounded pride
To the sharpest edge in the fight
Prince of second place
I’ll be first to never die
[Bridge]
Let the galaxy keep laughing (come on)
Let them carve my name in doubt
Every time I fall behind you
Is another time I crawl back out
I was born to sit above them
But I’d rather claw my way
From the dirt
From the hurt
Till my heartbeat blows this cage away
[Chorus]
I’m the prince of second place
Chasing you right through the flames
Always one step from your shadow
That’s the fuel inside my veins
If I’m always breathing hard
Just behind your blinding light
Then I’ll turn this wounded pride
To the sharpest edge in the fight
Prince of second place
I’m the last who’ll ever
Break
Bow
Run
Or hide
Prince of second place
Super warrior of my pride
