[Verse]
Lights flicker in the empty room
Shadows dance but they don’t move
Cards on the table but none to choose
A whisper says the game is you
[Chorus]
Strange games we play in the night
You deal the cards then switch the light
Strange games and I lose my grip
Your rules change then you switch
[Verse 2]
Dice roll but they never land
Rules are written in shifting sand
Your smile cuts like a jagged strand
I’m caught inside your sleight of hand
[Prechorus]
Do you cheat or do I fold
Every move feels icy cold
[Chorus]
Strange games we play in the night
You deal the cards then switch the light
Strange games and I lose my grip
Your rules change then you switch
[Bridge]
A pawn
A queen
A faceless king
No one wins
The pieces sting
A puzzle with no final ring
You change the board
I hear you sing
