Play The Game

Left you on the stairs
Had a ladder
But you couldn’t reach
Holding on to this is all you care
Even if it takes you to your knees
You wanna go higher
You wanna believe that you could
You know the desire
Is wrapping a leech to your foot
If you’re just afraid of failure
You’ll never be brave
Know that nothing will change
If you want to break behavior
All you gotta do is play the game
Prove it isn’t there
And you’ll gladly walk away with me
Just listen to me babe
Don’t you see there’s-a place for our dreams
If you’re just afraid of failure
You’ll never be brave
Know that nothing will change
If you want to break behavior
All you gotta do is play the game
You wanna get higher
You wanna believe that’s the cure
You know the desire
Is making you think that you should

Is That What You Want

Every morning I wake up and see the face I live for
For so many years to this day
I swear I would do anything to give you what you want
But you don’t seem to relate
I’m so far in your side
You have forgotten how it sounds
To be alone this way
Now that I’ve come inside
Where shall we go from here on out
Do you want the same things as me
Baby
Is that what you want
Is that what you want, baby
Is that what you want
Is that what you want, baby
Is that what you want
No one ever tells you how to feel when you’re so in love
Except to know when to escape
But I swear to you I’ll never be the one to give up
But you don’t seem to believe
I’ve given you what’s in my
Heart to be given by
But you want something that’s not for sale
Our lightning touch aside
I think I’d rather die
So I’ll bleed out for you if that’s what you need

The Same Things

I know it’s close to being filicide
Unable to decide
What I am doin
I can’t make up up what’s in my mind
Even if I tried
To get it goin
But I won’t give up
Tryin to make this mark my own
It’s just so tough
To be fucking original
I write the same thing over and over again
And then I try to throw it
I say the same thing over and over again
And I still blow it
Why can’t I see that it’s alright
If I show it
It would come to life
But wait there’s doubt to be put aside
Now that you’re on my mind
And we’ve been flowing
Are you the one for my rest of life
Melody that they’ll know me by
Now that we’re glowing
It’s just that love
Doesn’t really even last this long
It’s just like us
And now I can’t even write a song
I write the same thing over and over again
And then I try to throw it
I say the same thing over and over again
And I still blow it
Why can’t I see that it’s alright
If I show it
It would come to life
Why can’t I see that it’s alright
Why can’t I see that it’s my time
Why can’t I see that if I try
If I show it
It would come to life
