I try to be so silent
But I just can't stop myself
I'm at the point of imploding
Watching people burn themselves
My mind is breaking
Crosses and bones
When they play they use us like it's tic-tac-toe
Crosses and bones
When we lose we lose the game of self control
We could be so close to happiness
Something is always choking me
To take away the madness
They give us something for relief
My mind is breaking
Crosses and bones
When they play they use us like it's tic-tac-toe
Crosses and bones
When we lose we lose the game of self control
Take us to a place that's so familiar
Where the things we hate can crawl under our skin
Take us to a place that's so familiar
Where our logic can be manipulated
(We’re paying, they're gaining
It’s all a game that we’re playing)
I try to be so silent
But I just can't stop myself
I'm at the point of imploding
Watching people burn themselves
My mind is breaking
Crosses and bones
When they play they use us like it's tic-tac-toe
Crosses and bones
When we lose we lose the game of self control
Oh yeah
