lyrics

My heart's been wrapped around you
like a car around a pole
just another worry in my skull
I'm Sinking just to stay afloat
humming through a hole in my throat
clogging it with a coin makes the notes a little less dull

Cause I've been Playing this game just to lose
I wish myself the worst and then get confused
when I leave torn apart
or lose every cent I made playing in the dark
it's not hard to figure out the reason why
it's the game I made and I'm on the losing side

This chord's been tied around my neck
since the night that I was born
I've been making myself a cross just to keep myself warm
I tied all my front teeth to a horse
and cried all night of course
it's the monkey in me breaking my balls with no remorse

Cause I've been setting this game up just to lose
I know what hurts the most and yet I refuse
to live my life with less pain
and talk as loud as I can so you can hear me complain
I'm laying down on the track but my hands aren't tied
it's the game I made and I'm on the losing side

cause I've been playing this game just to lose
I wish myself the worst and then get confused
when I leave torn apart
or lose every cent I made playing in the dark
it's not hard to figure out the reason why
it's the game I made and I'm on the losing side
