The Game

[Verse 1]

I drove to work today

Nothing's changed

Drove by the home of Mr. Ray

He was acting strange

He held a gun up to his face, then

He blew out his brain

His wife closed the curtains, and then

Nothing changed

[Pre-Chorus]

I'd like to forget sometimes

I'd like to feel safe

I'd like to escape

[Chorus]

Every day, I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

Every day I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

How do I escape? (How?)

How do I escape? (How?)

Every day, I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

[Verse 2]

I go to church to pray

Sunday

Drink milkshake with my steak

Catch my train

I walk home alone to watch my show

I hold my remote

I hold its blade against my vein

I watch the game

[Pre-Chorus]

I'd like to forget sometimes

I'd like to feel safe

I'd like to escape

[Chorus]

Every day I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

Every day, I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

How do I escape? (How?)

How do I escape? (How?)

Every day, I play

Every day, the game

The same game again

Every day's the same

[Bridge]

How are you?

"I'm not bad"

How's your work?

How's your dad?

Are you well?

"I guess so

I saw you in Tesco"

[Outro]

It takes a lifetime

I'm not here today
