[Verse 1] The half silence sang me a lullaby tonight Sitting here in the rain waiting for an ending to the game I've been playing my whole god damn life Even though I didn't know I was in I've been putting it up... The whole time [Chorus] I've been playing! Steady losing! Doth how I protest... Not enough to keep me from the table... Think that describes me best... A loser who dreamed... He could be... Anything but... [Gentle acoustic guitar plucking] [Verse 2] Call me the Gambit... Call me a loss... Call me a saint... Trapped in a sinner... Who never learned... His cause was lost... I have regarded the cards... It's too late... To strategize... Make a new play... [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, oh, oh Ooh Ooh, oh, oh [Chorus] I've been playing! I've been playing! Steady losing! Doth how I protest... Not enough to keep me from the table... Think that describes me best... A loser who dreamed... He could be... Anything but... [Gentle acoustic guitar plucking] [Bridge] So call me a gambit... And then tell me... Was any of it? Worth what I lost... Not that much... Figuratively speaking... Just my whole life in the wash... [Outro] I've been playing! Steady losing! Doth how I protest... Not enough to keep me from the table... Think that describes me best... A loser who dreamed... He could be... Anything but... [Gentle acoustic guitar plucking and instrumental solo leading to fade out]
