lyrics

(Intro)
*Sample*: "Shall we play a game"

(Verse 1)
Yo, let the games begin, that's all life is, right, we just play to win, I woke up with a kink in my neck, difficult to hold my head high as I get out of bed, in the same pair of clothes as the last couples days, the months all run together inside of my brain, ever since I finished school, goals become unclear and accomplishment is miniscule, it's houndin' me, lookin' at life nostalgically, has got me feelin' out of sync with reality, wondering if old friends would still be proud of me, or would they just turn away and frown on me, each afternoon takes more out of me, and sadness manifests into calories, as night falls over day and the game in which we play becomes a little more challenging

(Verse 2)
The light reflects off the surface of the moon, yet the opposite side is where I feel more attuned, walking down the streets of Minneapolis, with a guarded heart and that's the reason why I'm hazardous, I feel drained like they stuck me with some catheters, my sailboat stopped abruptly before the wind blew back at us, and everybody wants to laugh it up, and if the joke's on them, well, then I guess it fell flat as fuck, feelin' like I'm at a stand still, buryin' emotions like Atari cartridges in a landfill, relics of my better days lay in waste, digging up the same things just to pile on the pain, I'm tired of this game, wish I could file it away and delete the folder, walking miles in a haze 'til I reach a club with an entry fee, and I pay the price for another night in an empty scene

(Verse 3)
The play list is boring, but the people don't seem to care, when you're with someone special and you feel needed there, but when you're sober everything moves slower, details stick out in your spleen 'til it seems like an ulcer, for some life's something to pass the time with, others focus on good deeds and acts of kindness, some slash the prices and live real cheap, because it's costly to dig real deep, it always seems like I'm somewhere in between a state of depression and a fulfilled dream, I scored points early on, but now the church is gone, mashin' buttons as I'm comin' up upon the kill screen, it's game over and I wasn't given any credit, cut out of a scene that I wish that I could edit, and since I couldn't set it back at the start again, I'm livin' with regret and all these feelings that I'm harborin'
