I've been stuck in this game
But I dug up the box
I made the choice to play
Now I have gone astray
So empty are my words
Like expectation strains
I've been trapped in my mind
My thoughts have been reversed
I can't afford the time
Now I have lost my way
So heavy is my heart
So empty are my pointless days
Buy yourself a dog, steal yourself a wife
Build yourself a house, seal yourself inside
Seasons pass you by, endlessly refrain
Holes are in the roof.
Can't you feel the rain?
Cover up the walls, plaster up these holes
Wave your banners high: sex-conditioned roles
I have not the heart to stop when it's too late
The mind will fall apart, the brain deteriorates.
Quick deteriorate, stuck inside this game
Quick deterioration, complete lack of sensation
I certainly wished that this was a joke
But I buried my head and I'm coughing from smoke
And I think I'm alive but it's too hard to tell
I'll see satan or god in both heaven or hell
In either, oh well
It takes two to hurt one's self
Oh well
It takes two to hurt one's self
I'm not gonna fold my hand this time
My heart is on the table, I've parted with it already so I'm fine
No more honest communication
Bo more build-up, no more letdown
No more problems left to face here in this post-industrial coal town
And everything is bullshit at least the way that I see
Go f*ck up your own life but keep it out of my valley
As if you've ever been trapped in a bad day
It's like your never gonna fight your way out
The fact of the matter is nothing else matters
But healing your bruises and stitching your doubts
I've finally looked in the mirror
And destroyed every mask I've had glued to my face
The fact of the matter is nothing else matters
Surrender the game we call life
My conscience escapes
I've been stuck in this game
I was not good at first
I swear I've found a way
