Playing games

We're not playing games
So don't you act confused
Or take it as permission for you
To back down, sit it out,
Or not stand up at all
And fight
Like you mean it and
Mean what you say
And tell me what does all of this
Mean to you

It's all fun and games
So laugh
Til you gasp
For the things that you can't grasp
Like the breath to fuel the words
Or any kind of understanding
This game is getting old

So take your time
But don't waste mine
Because it's gotten thin
So I'm keeping what I can
Days I've spent have all added up
And created hoops that I have to jump
So we buckle in, leave the rest to burn
And keep on living like
It's all fun and games

So laugh
Til you gasp
For the things that you can't grasp
Like the breath you don't deserve
Or any kind of understanding
This game is getting old

If you don't want to be here and feel
This means nothing at all
Forfeit your life, throw in the towel
And fold
