Ender’s Song

[Verse 1]
Playing or learning, tricky not discerning
Living for the stats I’m earning
I get the shake-up every time I wake up
Never settled, always turning

[Pre-Chorus]
Will I ever be the warrior you need?
You tested me before
And I made them bleed

[Chorus]
(I can’t tell if they’re coming or running away)
The choices that you gave me were never really mine
(Don’t know if they’re coming or running away)
And the voices were behaving like they weren’t in my mind
(Don’t know if they’re coming or running away)
The choices that you gave me were never really mine
(I can’t tell if they’re coming or running away)
And the voices were behaving like they weren’t in my mind

[Verse 2]
The bugger army setting out to swarm me
My bunkmates are more alarming
Grown-ups defend me, turning them against me
Everyone is out to harm me

[Pre-Chorus]
Will I ever be the leader that we need?
I played your games before
To your defeat

[Chorus]
(I can’t tell if they’re coming or running away)
The choices that you gave me were never really mine
(Don’t know if they’re coming or running away)
And the voices were behaving like they weren’t in my mind
(Don’t know if they’re coming or running away)
The choices that you gave me were never really mine
(I can’t tell if they’re coming or running away)
And the voices were behaving like they weren’t in my mind

[Beat Change]

[Bridge]
Determination and coordination
Sitting safe in my space station
Every time I win
Every time they defend
Against me and my kind
Just miss my sister Valentine
I won’t let the world
Destroy my little girl

[Instrumental Outro]
