Games

You know these games you play,

They aren't for your victory.

Stubborn pride will drive you

To fracture this heart in me.

The sands of time will fall

Covering the truth they can't see.

Beside the lies you try to hide,

And warnings you refuse to heed.

But one day I will forfeit the game,

From you I will finally be free.

You'll slip on the sand all around you,

And in your life all alone you will be.
