Into a Game

Never thought it could come to this

As you sit there crying

Hanging on with your fingertips

To something that's already dead

Now we're into a game

And it's all a bit strange

Once on a time, we were sincere

Now, we're acting charades

Hiding behind cracked images

From other people's stages

Now we're into a game

And it's all a bit strange

But familiar too

The rules never change

I know it, but do you?

Let's solve it now

I've seen it all before

And this play no longer moves me

But the closing of a door

Is never easy

Look at the cards in your hand

Kings turn to jokers

There are no prizes for laughing

Situation hopeless

Now we're into a game

And it's all a bit strange

But familiar too

The rules never change

I know it, but do you?

Let's solve it now

It's no good looking to me

For reassurance

It's hard and I need you to show me

Your bruised innocence

Into a game, into a game
