Play This Game

[Verse 1]
I could be jealous and grasping with greed
I could pretend that I want something I don't need
These are the things that go through my head

But then, I could be an angel disguised as a man
I could be the sun that shines in the midnight land

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you would only stand in my corner
Give that advantage to me
Don't you feel something?
You know what I'm thinking but
I can't set it free, we must

[Chorus 1]
Play this game, take the prize
But not before you realize
That win or lose, it's all the same
Then maybe we can play this game

[Verse 2]
I can't remember the reason I'm here
Sometimes it seems like it's all out of habit or fear
Sometimes I wish, I could just go to sleep

But then, I'll have a dream with a beautiful end
I'll wake up and feel alive, then I'm off again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I could only keep your connection
Give me whatever remains
Then I might win you total liberation
But I can't break these chains, we must

[Chorus 2]
Play this game, let's pretend
That we could never reach the end
For it would be a crying shame
If we can't learn to play this game

[Chorus 1]
Play this game, take the prize
But not before you realize
That win or lose, it's all the same
Then maybe you can play this game

[Bridge]
(Stand in my corner) Give that advantage to me
(Stand in my corner) Pull down a message with me
The answer that evades our brains
We only think we're wearing chains

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Stand in my corner
Won't you stand in my corner
Stand in my corner

[Chorus 1]
Play this game, take the prize
But not before you realize
That win or lose, it's all the same
Then maybe you can play this game

[Chorus 2]
Play this game, let's pretend
That we could never reach the end
For it would be a crying shame
If we can't learn to play this game

[Outro]
Play this game, take the prize
But not before you realize
That win or lose, it's all the same...
