lyrics

It's all a game of myself trying to stay distracted from a world outside that's gone completely bullshit
And I don't got it but I had it, we fell in love with matches, when the town burnt down we all pretended it was tragic
When the grocery stores are empty when the bank accounts run dry this winter's gonna be the worst winter of my entire life
I tell myself that its all right that there's an end in sight and I don't know if I'm lying, but god damn it, I'd really fucking like to be right

It's too cold outside so keep your breath in they are watching

It's all a game of this or that, starting a fire without friction, not waiting for the smoke to justify my convictions
It's all the same, neither first nor last, the truth within the fiction, just trying to keep going while ignoring my restrictions
When the world gets too heavy
When the shit straight hits the fan
It'll be just me standing next to a mirror wondering if this who I am
When it all feels like a set piece
When I get too damn tired to stand
I'll lay down defeated in the snow, I fell for it, this life's a giant scam

I know there's only me to blame
For each day being the same
I thought by now that things would change
I had dreams of lights and fame
The wolves are watching my each step
Scavenging what I have left
I keep my breath within my chest
So they can't see I'm not like them
It's too cold for playing games
I'd wait for this to go away
I'd freeze to death during the wait
So I guess we'll take this day by day
Keep it safe, or ignore the rules
I'll die for me, I'll die for you
Lie to myself, ignore the truth
I'll outrun myself but not the wolves
