In This Game Called Life Lyrics

The smell in the air has me feeling alright

The breeze through my hair seems so tranquil tonight

As I find myself standing in this field

The bright city lights feel so real

I try to recall what lead me to this moment

Why is it that I'm alive

Buried under all the strife

In this game called life

It's a pernicious design

But in my insular mind

Baby, I'm doing just fine

To think that I'm not to blame

For thinking in my own lane

But really who's to say

Are yet close to the brink

Is it delusive to think

It will get better someday

The buildings light up the crepuscular skies

The moonlit horizon falls into my eyes

Reflecting on what your mind is containing

Can seem so intimidating

Knowing where it comes from is half the battle

Despite what I try to do

It's tough to get the world to notice you

This won't stop me from pushing through

The roar in the distance of cars driving by

Remind me of instincts I cannot deny

I can't see how I've been so blind

It's so freeing to not be confined

But there's just one thing I can't get off my mind

Why is it that I'm alive

Buried under all the strife

In this game called life

It's a pernicious design

But in my insular mind

Baby, I'm doing just fine

To think that I'm not to blame

For thinking in my own lane

But really who's to say

Are yet close to the brink

Is it delusive to think

It will get better someday
