Play On

This is all a farce
But you‘re expecting the truth
I watch as you eat yourself fat with it
While I starve on my lies
I will make myself look big
Like I was legend where I lived

But I am merely passing through
Looking for someone to use
And this time I choose you

To play on
I play on
Upon this empty heart of mine
Like It never stopped me before
Play on
I play on
The cities left behind
Will never find out

How fitting are
All the facades that we find
All the ‘prim and proper’ equal
To every ‘decimated drink-hole’
Rushing to stumble on weekend thrills
With open arms
Like there wasn’t one before you

Just passing through
Looking for someone to use them
It’s time to choose

To play on
I play on
Upon this empty heart of mine
Like It never stopped me before
Play on
I play on
The cities left behind
Will never find out

But can't wait to know again, my friend

Afraid to fall asleep
I’m sitting in this passenger seat
Staying safe
‘Til I want to be found
Already see the people change
They are riding on our coattails
Chasing us along the highway

But we have to run
Not for ourselves
But to prove we are the faster ones

Don’t go back
To the easy and free
We're all in this one together now
Aren’t we?

To play on
I play on
Upon this empty heart of mine
Like It never stopped me before
Play on
I play on
The cities left behind
Will never find out
No
