lyrics

These words they came to me in a dream
A sleepy haze, a reverie so it seems
Like a set of crooked steps in the snow
Leading to a place where the river doesn't flow

A lonely troubadour at the end of a road
Where all of our ideas are bought and sold
To the empty minded man in an easy chair
Who cuts out the fat and stores it upstairs

A cookie cutter in the shape of a star
To feed the people that still seem to starve
A desert a tundra that is void of all life
A shadow looming as dark as night

But I can’t take this anymore
Even when the devil comes and pounds at my door
I'm not gonna be your player in my game
But it don't seems the same

Five out of ten times catching yourself in a lie
Delusions of adequacy thinking that you could fly
Selling your soul is the only way
To spurt out lies when you don't have a word to say

An alley cat locked out from its home
Forced to wander aimlessly through the cold
Patchy at best amidst a world of perfection
Ooh Search for a new direction

Shatter the windows and break the beams
Of the house built upon a land that gleams
Whether or not is no longer a question
Please allow me to make a suggestion

But I can’t take this anymore
Even when the devil comes and pounds at my door
I'm not gonna be your player in my game
But it don't seems the same

I'm not gonna be your player in my game
But it don't seems the same
