Lyrics

Games

[Muffled intro]

[Verse 1]

Playing games until pieces run out, driving in circles all night

Around the block that resembles our city lights

One hundred painting without reasoning

One thousand thought that's what this could all mean

Day by day, night by night we're getting by

[Chorus]

This has been pushing into the edge of a sanity

A light bright calm sweet sanity

To the breaking point where this song slows down

[Verse 2]

Holding hands with the enemy

Watching the strangers pass by

Carring stories that disguise extraordinary lives

[Chorus]

This has been pushing into the edge of a sanity

A light bright calm sweet sanity

To the breaking point where this song slows down

Deciding who you cool kids are

When you're feeling like playing games

With the ones you used to hide your pain

Until the breaking point where this song slows down?

[Outro]

Oh they're losing their minds

Oh they're chasing lost time

Oh we're laughing out loud

Hanging on by a thread, envisioning innocence

We're playing along, but how?
