Dead Trajectory

Got no motion
Dead trajectory
Others fake out yet they beat me to the top
Of this board game I’m on
Churns my gut
Everything is wrong
And every piece out for themselves
Against the grain I excel
I know it’s who I am
There’s nothing I can do

You take my place
Perspective all skewed
Your soft accent
Use it wise and you’ll beat me to
Lay it all on the line
Paint your dreams
Slip and slide
It’s for sure a strange life
Tiеd unto but trying to fly
It’s all in who you know
Not what you can do

Role reversal
Vicе Versa
I hide my feelings down
But eat my heart out
Heavy load every day
Trade it out for a way
Just a temporary fix
It’s a bold necessary risk
I don’t think that you are quite aware
Of how much you can do
