The Game Is Over
The Game Is Over.
A vicious cycle
Comes crashing to an end
Twelve years
Was long enough
Twelve years
It's been a long road out of hell
Angry words--I've had enough
Can you hear this? As we come to an end
The truth-
The bitter truth
Can you feel the weight off my heart
You wanted me to sink among your demons, I know how to swim
The light that shone like the sun
The light I finally saw was from the
Burning of our bridges.
A vicious cycle
Came crashing to an end
I can finally breathe
This game is over
Amen.
