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
Its 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
