It's a mystery to me, the game commences For the usual fee, plus expenses Confidential information, it's a diary This is my investigation, it's not a public inquiry I go checking out the reports, digging up the dirt You get to meet all sorts in this line

This morning I made the call The one that ends it all Hanging up,I wanted to cry But dammit,this well's gone dry Not for the money,not for the fame Not for the power,just no more games But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado I can't replace the

Would you let me in? Even in these chains, you can't stop me 'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin I've been everywhere that you've been Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win I'm already under your skin Even with these chains,

It never ends This kills me to know We cannot learn The game isn't done I feel the crawling and haunting upon us until you listen Enough is enough Taking your essence and use it to strengthen their own flesh and blood Time watching as the sand flows

I promise this, with every kiss, my heart's in this 'Cause it's not an option, it's not a game As they fall apart (they fall apart) No one compares, it's just not fair To everyone that doesn't have you Guess I'm the lucky one (guess I'm the lucky one)

I began to understand why God died The air begins to feel a little thin And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it
