THE GAME

about

"All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players"

-- W. Shakespeare


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

lyrics

As light threatens the night we feel
My face under the paint's more real
The only thing I know
Is I want you to go

The darkness leaves its marks on me
The years add up the tears I see
The only thing I fear
Is no one sees me here

The road is paved with mistakes we made
You can't take back the words you say
So don't pretend the lies will end
Or that you never played the game

The paint's more real
than skin and bone
Illusions draw ideas of home
We shack up and we pack up
In the end we die alone

The bowl is overflowing
With dreams of one big score
But you can never get ahead
When the only rule is more

Chorus

The morning brings surprises
After midnight compromises
You keep the secrets close to heart
Then watch the world tear them apart

Is it saturday or Sunday?
I think I need to run away
The days all start to feel the same
and I'm too tired to play the game

You can't keep abiding time
Contemplating petty crime
You place another losing bet
and light another cigarette

Chorus
