I tried to be vulnerable 
but I get ripped apart like dry clay
I tried to open up anyway
now all the vultures are out to play

You can try to stop the bleeding,
But you can’t stop the pain

I’ve stopped going against the grain
yet I can’t find my footing
maybe myself is really the only obstacle 
And I’m standing in my own way

You can try to stop the bleeding,
But you can’t stop the pain

My only sin 
was giving you the option
Of letting you 
walk all over me 
all over again

I outta be at the top 
for how lonely I am
betting only on losing dogs
and winning stupid prizes 

Why is all the shade hitting me
No matter where I stand

But the blinding glare of your rear view mirror is enough to keep me warm
While you leave me in the dust I figure 
one day you’ll come back for more

Because my worth 
is a loaded gun without a trigger, 
a match above a gasoline tank 
with nothing to strike in sight, 

it all just might come down to words, 
cause my actions weren’t even seen 
enough to make your conversation 
last another second with me

no cliffhanger, just the end of a rope 
never loved again, half a heart to hold
no climax just end credits rolled
never loved again, never loved again 

Cat and mouse in a circular fashion
catch me if you can, catch me if you can
cat and mouse in an infinite sequence
catch me if you can, catch me if you can

Who’s chasing who now? 
Where from and where to?

Cat and mouse in a circular fashion
catch me if you can, catch me if you can
cat and mouse in an infinite sequence
catch me if you can, catch me if you can

Who’s chasing who now? 
Where from and where to?

just let me know when you find out why
I lost the meaning of the plot in your eyes
I lost the meaning of my story

No
Way out

Stay with me now
Stay with me

this house warming
smells just like gasoline
A match made in heaven
for the arsonist in me

“When you’re born in a burning building
You think the world is on fire 
But this is where you first failed us”
and so else burns my trust

this house warming
smells just like gasoline
A match made in heaven
for the arsonist in me

We can go match for match
We can go flame for flame
We can make all the right choices
But it won’t make a difference in blame

stay with me now
stay with me

A road to hell,
paved with the best 
intentions, intentions

stay with me now
stay with me

a time bomb
not stopping 
for anyone
for anyone

The gift that keeps on giving up
The winner that keeps on losing sleep
Your problem child 
Is now your trophy child
Son of a gun
What are you running from
That son of a bitch
He actually made it

your curse is my blessing 
This curse is my everything
My honest cure, my honest apology

A fever you can’t sweat out
A ringing you can’t unhear now
My voice will echo through you
Like your voice resonates within me
You’ll never be anybody
You’ll never do anything great
You’ll never get far like this
You’ll never make a killing

your curse is my blessing
This curse is my everything
My honest cure, my honest apology

outliving you
Is all I ever needed to be happy
Now look around
I only ever needed myself 
Outrunning you
Is all I ever needed to breathe deep
Now see me
I only ever took what I gave

She’ll never love you
At least not the way that you want her to

Nothing ever gets past you
in saying much else, there’s no use

In limerence, I’ve fallen
nothing short of wanting more attention

Guilty as charged, 
more than I get,
Tend to my interests, 
you’re the topic of conversation 

Limerence takes control once again
When life gives you lemons 
Why take advantage?
am I a loser or a saint, god dammit?
Both if I count my blessings

I tried to get 
you out of my head
But you waltz up and 
around instead

I tried to get 
you off of my mind 
But is it worth it when
You just laugh and smile

Limerence takes control once again
When life gives you lemons 
Why take advantage?
am I a loser or a saint, god dammit?
Both if I count my blessings

I tried to get 
you out of my head
But you waltz up and 
around instead

I tried to get 
you out of my mind 
But is it worth it when
You just laugh and smile

Limerence takes control once again

I put my whole heart into this
but you and I are not the same
I put my whole heart into this
I do it for the love of the game.

Laugh until your lungs collapse
It ain’t a joke until someone fucking chokes
it’s so funny I almost forgot to laugh
I’m not surprised if I’m the punchline every time

But nobody likes a sore winner

Cross me again and be crushed
By the weight of a pure soul
these games we play that I’m tired of
Either you’re down or you’re out now

I put my whole heart into this
but you and I are not the same
I put my whole heart into this
I do it for the love of the game. 

I lose to make you happy in the end
just for it to start all over and over again 
So take back everything you ever said
pushed aside and punished with silence

Sh.

Cross me again and be crushed
By the weight of pure soul
these games we play that I’m tired of
Either you’re down or you’re out now

(Group vocals)
For the love of the
GAME
