(Play the game
Roll the dice
Bet your life
At a chance for love.
Retreat to friends
Who do not care
Until its time
To try again.
Shameless ambition
Selfish satisfaction
All you have to do to play
Is lie and hold her hand.)
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever will
Friends you know, you lust, you lose
It's just to pass the time
Pixels on a computer screen
Rain drips on the window's glass
The mirror gaze tells it all so clearly
Same old face, same old sadness
Ring a bell, buy a candle
The only one who's ever cared
Noise in the field of life
Ephemeral hope, eternally hopeless
Lines forgotten unspoken
Inspiration unexpressed
The spoken misquoted and misjudged
The inspired forsaken
Crazy world in crazy life
Crazy games the jesters play
Errored in so many ways
But history refrains
Words remembered once
Blessings on your house of cards
Wisdom fails to bring the sun
But sometimes cloud will fade
Sieze the day, lose the moment
Forget the future and the past
Water's curse the rolls reflect
Refuge in lack of action
I forgive you for your rage
Yet not for meditations
Do not forgive, do not forget
But act as though you have
