Can We Stop Trying to Win?

Another day I wake up, not really rested
And every move reminds me of the wounds that never healed right
What have I gained from being daily tested?
I guess I learned just enough to make it through the night
I'm so tired of this game
And the villains we've been
Can we end all the pain?
Can we stop trying to win?
Can we put down the knives?
I will never give in
If I fall we both lose
Can we stop trying to win?
Your tactics might succeed, and leave me bleeding
And for a moment you might cheer, get drunk on your delight
Your strategy is flawed, we're both defeated
The price we pay is far too much
Recovery is not in sight
I'm so tired of this game
And the villains we've been
Can we end all the pain?
Can we stop trying to win?
Can we put down the knives?
I will never give in
If I fall we both lose
Can we stop trying to win?
You think I hold you back, just weight you drag around
But I'm the one who keeps you tethered to the ground
Without me to laugh at stupid things you say
You'd shoot your foot off in a week or just a day
I'm so tired of this game
And the villains we've been
Can we end all the pain?
Can we stop trying to win?
Can we put down the knives?
I will never give in
If I fall we both lose
Can we stop trying to win?
Can we put down the knives?
I will never give in
If I fall we both lose
Can we stop trying to win?
