Same

One by one
I am killing my emotions
To save myself
Keeping hold of my devotions
Liberate myself
Of disappointing expectations
Reminding myself
Of self preservation

Cause the game it doesn't change
It's always more of the same
It will chew you up and spit you out
Until routinely you're insane
For balance is happiness
Balance is pain
Wrapped up for years
In consolidated chains
And it's always just the same

Two by two
They march on ever forward
Together to the end
At least until divorce court
I am finding it all disturbing
This constant state of discord
This misery and pain
Is troubling to the core

Cause the game it doesn't change
It's always more of the same
It will chew you up and spit you out
Until routinely you're insane
For balance is happiness
Balance is pain
Wrapped up for years
In consolidated chains
And it's always just the same

Frame by frame
The images keep repeating
Don't change that dial
Please remain in numbered seating
It keeps you satisfied
While on your blood they have been feeding
Sold yourself to fear
For you feel your time is fleeting

So the game needs to change
We cannot allow it to be the same
We must find the strength within
To choose life over wealth and fame
For balance isn't happiness
And balance isn't pain
It's the natural disaster
It's the drought ending rain
Lest it all be just the same
