lyrics

Each taken step is a predetermined choice,
A mathematical thought, a calculated move,
Devoid of emotion, only reason as a guiding light,
There's no chance at stake, there's no instinct,
Every win or lose situation is analyzed and accounted for.

A formula born from the coldness of my essence,
My self-interest in the only thing at play.

The game stays the same
And I'm tired of holding the winning hand.

Through manufactured expressions and forged sympathy
I hold captive your attention to redeem my lack of empathy,
Step by step I reach the mountain, with coercion as my cane,
Every rock was built on questions that fiddle through my mind.

Now I'l fall to the ground or levitate?
Now what choice can I make?
What's my fate?

Fight back the need to be like the men I can't be.
Fight back the need to be like the man I can't reach.

The game never changes
And for once I don't want to pretend to be king,
The game stays the same
And I'm tired of holding the winning hand.

All the waste brought back in the waves,
I've been drowning without a hand to hold,
There are flashes of light in the depth
Filling my lungs with air, I'll keep swimming.

I preached what I believed in,
I'll settle with some warmth,
A minor semblance of love
Reaching out.
Can't I pretend some more?
Why is this haunting me?
My core has reached it's breaking point,
will restraining it hold the fort?

Cast away the name and hide beneath the mask,
Breathe this lack of air that's wasted on my life,
Sample my disdain, it's voiced from ridden thoughts that I had hidden in the core,
I'm building ways to justify this lie.
