Lyrics

Hopeless games we play
Even though I’m strung up
Like a marionette
Better a puppet, than a silhouette
I still see your face
As I visit our past
And pay my respects
Am I the reason we wish we were dead?
 
You’re not sad
Just indifferent
You’re not mad
Just dismissive
We’re not bad
Just complicit
On our path
To extinction
There’s poetry
There’s syllables
There’s rhyme schemes
There’s intervals
If there’s words, I’d use ‘em all
To stall this untimely goodbye
Honesty
Doesn’t come to me naturally
I show you what you want to see
Narcissistic as that may be
Ohh
You know me
A familiar melody
With a dissonant harmony, yeah
A performance you saw right from the start
Don’t you call
Don’t you text
Just delete what I sent
There’s no use in us crafting future regrets
As I meet the edge
Knowing one quick, clean step
Could unravel these strings that still hold me
Still, I find myself webbed to my old ways
Threads that I couldn’t cut, though they’re so frayed
Hung from ropes built of shame, guilt and disdain
Like a noose on my neck
Hopeless games we play
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hopeless games we play
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Honesty
Doesn’t come to me naturally (doesn't come to me naturally)
I show you what you want to see (oh, oh, ohh)
Narcissistic as that may be
You know me (you know me)
A familiar melody (ohh)
With a dissonant harmony (yeah)
A performance you saw right from the start
Hopeless games we play
Even though I’m strung up
Like a marionette
Better a puppet, than a silhouette
