lyrics

you act as if it's all a game
every move, a defensive play
the rules are set, how the rules have changed
as long as you can get your way

I know my heart is of no concern
I know my match and still I choose
a hopeful thought, that you can learn
one who's lost, has nothing to loose

you can choke on all you've created
all the pieces you've tried escaping
soon it starts to all look the same
just more obstacles in your board game
