"Life is just a game"
Something we've all heard
Some take with excitement
Others think it's absurd

But think for just a moment
One moment is all
What if life is the player
And we're its game, here on call

We fight to the death
With no purpose or cause
Life lasts forever
We have no button to pause

No revives
No return
No extra lives
Just time to burn

Bound by mortal chains
To world where we bend
Maybe I'm crazy
But it's lifes choice in the end

I'm an assassin
Amongst shadows
Darting swiftly
Back and forth
Slicing you from
The inside out

Among the scattered sands
Blood of silent warriors flow
Masked by salty waves
Tears drip slow

Rusted steel reflects
Hidden scars of life
Burning souls living
Side by side with strife

Searching for an escape
From islands of sorrow
Waiting for the end
Fighting for tomorrow

When that smile lights up your day
You break a little inside
You know the words you want to say
But instead you bury them and hide

The soothing of their voice in ear
Puts your hairs on end
You build your voice for them to hear
But silence is all you send

You'd do anything for your love
Across the universe you'd endeavor
Eyes that glitter like the stars above
Sign your heart forever

A shattered heart
May struggle
To love at first
But a patchwork love
Will hug you tighter
Than a priceless vase
Afraid to break

The power is in my mind
But I'm stuck with the mouth
Of a mime
