Someone Else's Game

(album: HEIGHTS - 2021)

I was standing in a void
First time I heard the call
I was looking at the world
I was feeling kinda small
The time of night with fireflies
I could see it all in their light
Sign your name on the dotted line

That's when you lost your face
Playing someone else's game
Trying to live another day

So you hold on
You just hold on anyway

Now I'm somewhere outside of reno
In a rented truck with some rented friends
I think of my mother and my father
Well whatever happened to them?
My friend says you're not alone
But that skin still doesn't feel like home

That's when you lost your face
Playing someone else's game
Trying to live another day
The wheels keep turning but you don't know the way

So you hold on
You just hold on
One more minute, just hold on
Yeah it's killing you to stay
But you hold on anyway

That's when you lost your face
Playing someone else's game
Trying to live another day
Wheels keep turning but you don't know the way
And have you lost your faith?
Running til your bones are weak
Trying to hit top speed
That wheel keeps turning but
You are underneath

So you hold on
You just hold on
One more minute, just hold on
Yeah it's killing you to stay
But you hold on anyway
