Game
Another knife to my back
Another goodbye,
Another ache
It’s the second time around
Once more, I’m wounded in this game
Covered in dirt
Covered in ashes
When will I walk away?
Learn from my fucking mistakes?
And darling, you took my heart
Ran away with it in your hands
Now I walk like a zombie
Humanoid void of feelings, void of care
I crave your blood
I crave your flesh
To feast in you, the sweetest revenge
Won’t trust again
I won’t, though I must
To live I must breathe
To live I must eat
Still, I don’t trust
Not the air filling my lungs
Not the food in my stomach
I’m afraid to dance while I’m waiting
That was no game
This was my love
That was no joke
That was me, trusting
Giving my all
Now, I won’t trust
Won’t ever open up again
Another goodbye,
Another ache
It’s the second time around
Once more, I’m wounded in this game
Covered in dirt
Covered in ashes
When will I walk away?
Learn from my fucking mistakes?
And darling, you took my heart
Ran away with it in your hands
Now I walk like a zombie
Humanoid void of feelings, void of care
I crave your blood
I crave your flesh
To feast in you, the sweetest revenge
Won’t trust again
I won’t, though I must
To live I must breathe
To live I must eat
Still, I don’t trust
Not the air filling my lungs
Not the food in my stomach
I’m afraid to dance while I’m waiting
That was no game
This was my love
That was no joke
That was me, trusting
Giving my all
Now, I won’t trust
Won’t ever open up again
