And we feel like rain
When the words all sound the same
In the lifeless corners of this empty frame

Though we feel let down
By the same old autumn breathing
Winter's curse is just around the bend

With our hands all tied
To the blades of their design
We are armed and ready to commit this crime

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are
The way we've been for far too long

From the falsest smile
To the fear of death is why
The pain reminds us that we're still alive

With our hopes on hold
And our lack of interest exposed
All hands damage our determined eyes

But the lines are drawn
And the red begins to creep
It's way from bored toward apathy

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are
The way we've been for far too long

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are
The way we've been for far too long

Say something finally we're alone
Alright is there anyone out there at all?
Say something finally we're alone
How 'bout a phone call now?

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are
The way we've been for far too long

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are
The way we've been for far too long

We love that game but we never play
'Cause we will lose and we wanna stay
The way we are

And we feel like rain
When the words all sound the same
As the curtain closes on another day
