lyrics

The curdled milk of kindness
Intensity of blindness
We need to take control
And blow the dream to hell

The citadel forsaken
Invited to be taken
Most of all we matter
Bugs about to splatter

In over our heads, pushing and swinging all the way
We've gone past the fence, it's all making sense
The undo command

Raging with excitement
Licensed to act on it
It's unconditional
Some would call it love

Built upon objection
To all the intersection
We're reaching the crescendo
The apex of our lies

In over our heads, blows raining harder on the way
We've broken the door, taken the floor
Running the show

Played by the game, rolled like the dice
Believed in the conjure and doubled down twice
Played by the game, counter and steal
So educated that we outwit the real

In over our heads, where the hell are they?
They've gotta pay
Exactly why we've got to try?
The hell do we know

Played by the game, rolled like the dice
Believed in the conjure and doubled down twice
Played by the game, played by the game
Abandoned, it's over - played by the game
