Eleven Outstretched Hands
Gazillion

I flew in to this city from the WestnI took eleven outstretched hands and shook them brieflynIn an effort to chase tension from our chestsnI said, Sir, you're the man with whom I'll be competingnnThen I turned and wiped my hand across my head to ease the feelingnThose twenty-two eyes stared awkwardly by and their sockets are silencersnFor my secret is that they'd spill out of the back of my head but I wasn't revealingnBecause I realized, after five hundred tries, the mystery is one thing that worksnnSo instead of staring at the starsnI keep my eyes fixed straight aheadnDon't kill me if I pronounce my 'r'snLord, I was raised in the midwestnnAnd it's a last resort after losing againnI turn my eyes to the lord and ask him if I'll ever winnAnd it's a last resort after a swing and a missnI turn my eyes to the lord, but does he care about this?nnI stepped off of the stage on to the floornAnd the rhythm and my heart had both stopped beatingnNot a single sallow soul had asked for morenSo I put away my weapon and started weepingnnWell I wept because I'd been shamed, I'd been betrayed and I was bleedingnConfused and rejected I fell to the dirt and I swore as I got to my feetnI opened my eyes, intending to cry out, You bastards, I know you've been cheating!nIt hit me so hard in my mind for the five hundreth time -- God damn, I have been beat.nnSo instead of staring at the starsnI try to take in everythingnAnd yes, I still pronounce my 'r'snEspecially when I singnnAnd it's a last resort after losing againnI turn my eyes to the lord and ask him if I'll ever winnAnd it's a last resort after a swing and a missnI turn my eyes to the lord, but does he even exist?nnAnd just before I give up and put my weapon in my beltnI find a record of resilience when I look inside myselfnAnd as the sun began to setnI took eleven outstretched hands and shook them sweetlynAnd with no bitterness or shame passing my lipsnI said, You're not the first, but you'll be the last to beat me
