We're the contestants of a dangerous game The best way to win is up and walking away Easy to say but never easy to do with the grip it has on you
But look at what it's done to you In 20 years you'll see it too How can I help you escape from yourselves?
We're sitting under the starlight Laughing away, as the flick of a lighter ushers in a new day And I say to myself, who am I to say? There's a tragic connection, keeping me out It's the one thing that their entire lives are about But dare I keep it away, and let them go astray... (they're falling away)
Maybe someday you'll see it all falling down And even if not, you'll survive with no doubt But look at the way that you're living right now Are you even really alive?
