[Verse]
I saw the shadows play
They danced too close
A flicker
A shiver
A ghost of a ghost
My hands reach out but they fall through the air
Like catching whispers that were never there
[Chorus]
It’s a losing game
I play it still
Every move breaks
Every step kills
A losing game
But I stay the same
Caught in the rules of a losing game
[Verse 2]
The night it breathes
It knows my name
The stars
They blink
Like they’re in on the game
I walk this line
It’s thin
It’s cracked
One step forward
Ten steps back
[Prechorus]
The echoes laugh
They pull me in
I’m losing now
I’ll never win
[Chorus]
It’s a losing game
I play it still
Every move breaks
Every step kills
A losing game
But I stay the same
Caught in the rules of a losing game
[Bridge]
I built my house on a sinking shore
Tide creeps in
I don’t lock the door
Let the flood take all I own
It feels like home
It feels like home
