about

The chaos in my mind’s playing live on Channel 9.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

lyrics

I want us to be together forever
What started as a playful flirtation suddenly takes a sinister turn
Candy, this is not a game you’ve been playing
This is for real, and there’s no place to hide

I was broadcasting test patterns
But we’ve already gone live
There’s no second chances
But I bet I’m on my ninth
The horror movie’s over
But the TV won’t turn off
The credits won’t stop rolling
And your name’s on the

Back of the cards in Taboo
All the things I shouldn’t say, but you know that I do
It’s always the same ending when I play Clue
Choose your adventure, but always end up in my room

If I’d just hit save before
If I’d just hit save before
I said anything

The chaos in my mind’s
Playing live on Channel 9
The horror movie stopped
But the credits won’t turn off
It’s getting claustrophobic
Living in this metal box
Everyone is listening
But I’m just reading teleprompts

The chaos in my mind’s
Playing live on Channel 9
The horror movie stopped
But the credits won’t turn off
My mind can’t stop moving
‘Cause static is a sin
I can’t stop losing
And I’m just playing solitaire

Was that your card? Nine of broken hearts
It’s just a magic trick gone dark

Back of the cards in Taboo
All the things I shouldn’t say, but you know that I do
It’s always the same ending when I play Clue
Choose your adventure, but always end up in my room

If I’d just hit save before
If I’d just hit save before
I said anything

Strange how it’s like a choose your own adventure. It feels like this was the second run-through of the game where you chose all the worst options just to see how bad of an outcome you can get. I would definitely choose different options if I played again. I feel like all-consuming stress and past wrong choices just make you go that what’s-the-worst-outcome route? Okay, self. Hope you’re happy with losing all your friends and hurting all the people dearest to you.

Life’s not a game
