Let’s Play A Game

[Intro – Ghostly Spoken] (isolated clock ticking… slow and distant) Hello… You don’t know me. But I know you. Every choice leaves a trace. Every lie has a cost. Now you’re here. Not by chance. Live or die. The choice is yours. (clock ticking fades into beat drop) ⸻ [Verse 1] Woke up in a room, cold floor, no sound Chain on my ankle, got me stuck to the ground Heart beat heavy, got a tape on the side Little red light blinking like it’s watching my mind I don’t know how I got here, last thing I recall Was a normal conversation, now I staring at a wall Got a message on a screen, says “you wasted your days” Now you finally face the cost, yeah you owe what you gave Every second feel louder, every breath feel tight Got a clock counting down, no escape in sight Got a mirror in the corner but I don’t look the same Like I’m staring at the reason that I’m stuck in this game ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Voice in the dark but I know it’s real Saying “tell me what you are, not just what you feel” Every choice that you made led you right to this place Now you looking for mercy, but you can’t outrun fate ⸻ [Chorus] Let’s play a game… [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Let’s play a game… Tell me what you value when it’s slipping away [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Every second ticking, better choose what to save [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… You can run, you can lie, you can beg, you can pray But the truth gonna cut when it’s in your face [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Let’s play a game… Only one of you walking away ⸻ [Verse 2] Got a key in the box but it’s locked with a code Got a blade on the table, yeah it’s part of the road Got a note saying “freedom got a price you avoid” Now you paying in pain or you paying in choice I can hear somebody crying on the other side Same fear, same panic, same place I hide We don’t talk, just breathing like we both understand Only one getting out if we follow the plan Got me thinking ‘bout the life that I said I’d live All the chances I wasted, all the time I didn’t give Now it’s heavy on my chest like a weight I can’t shift Every second that I stall feel like something I missed ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Voice getting closer, now it’s inside my head “Are you willing to live or just scared to be dead?” All the lines getting blurred, all the morals decay When survival the only thing lighting the way ⸻ [Chorus] Let’s play a game… [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Let’s play a game… Tell me what you value when it’s slipping away [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Every second ticking, better choose what to save [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… You can run, you can lie, you can beg, you can pray But the truth gonna cut when it’s in your face [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Let’s play a game… Only one of you walking away ⸻ [Bridge] No more lies now No disguise now See yourself clear when it all break down What’s your life worth? What’s your time worth? Say it out loud ’fore you hit the ground ⸻ [Final Chorus] Let’s play a game… [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Now you see the truth when it’s too late to change [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… Let’s play a game… All the choices you made got you locked in the maze [Male Chant] Tick… Tock… You can scream, you can fight, you can curse, you can blame But the end still the same when you playing the game [Male Chant] The Game… The Game… Let’s play a game… Tell me… Are you living… or just afraid to die?
