[Short Interlude] [Verse 2] This my only choice? Drowning out the lonely voice of expectation? [Longer Interlude] [Bridge] I look around, And they’ve all made the same blind decision, Trapped in the senseless submission. [Slight interlude] [Verse 3] I'm searching for a different compass, Every smile feels like a lie. If I play this game of keeping the fragile illusion; I die..... [Hook] My core feeling resists the assimilation... Inside me is a deep, hurting emptiness where my heart once belonged. [Verse 4] I loose myself in the sublime..... All my lonely soul can be..... [Sax, Guitar, Mellotron Solos, etc.] [Extended Bluesy/Art-Rock Interlude] [Outro] If I play this game... Of keeping the fragile..... illusion; I die..... Hooh-oo-ooo... I Play........ Hooh-oo-ooo... I Die.......... (Die...) (Die...) (Die...) (Die...) [Rickenbacker Bass picks up melody] (Die...) (Die...) (Die...) [Fade] [END] ******** <<<•>>> ******** ©2025, All Rights Reserved, Clifford E.
