The Game Is Over



The Game Is Over. 

A vicious cycle

Comes crashing to an end

Twelve years

Was long enough

Twelve years

It's been a long road out of hell 

Angry words--I've had enough

Can you hear this? As we come to an end

The truth-

The bitter truth 

Can you feel the weight off my heart

You wanted me to sink among your demons, I know how to swim 

The light that shone like the sun

The light I finally saw was from the

Burning of our bridges.

A vicious cycle

Came crashing to an end

I can finally breathe

This game is over 

Amen.
