We're the contestants of a dangerous game
The best way to win is up and walking away
Easy to say but never easy to do
With the grip it has on you

But look at what it's done to you
In 20 years you'll see it too
How can I help you escape from yourselves?

We're sitting under the starlight
Laughing away, as the
Flick of a lighter ushers in a new day
And I say to myself, who am I to say?
There's a tragic connection, keeping me out
It's the one thing that their entire lives are about
But dare I keep it away, and let them go astray... (thеy're falling away)

Maybe someday you'll see it all falling down
And еven if not, you'll survive with no doubt
But look at the way that you're living right now
Are you even really alive?
