Mind Games

[Intro] A silent whisper, sharp and cold The secrets that you never told Mind games. [Verse1] You weave a web of silver thread To trap the thoughts inside my head You say one thing then turn away To watch the colors shift to grey I track your eyes to find the truth Behind the mask of stolen youth You lead me down a hollow street Where echoes dance beneath my feet A labyrinth built out of spite Lost within your mind games tonight. [Pre-Chorus] Are you real or just a dream? Nothing is as it might seem Pulling strings behind the veil Watching every courage fail Twisting logic, bending light Into the middle of the night. [Chorus] Oh, it’s all just mind games now The broken pact, the silent vow You play the queen, you play the pawn Until the sanity is gone Around the circle, back to start Cutting deep into my heart Mind games. [Verse2] You plant a seed of doubt and fear And wait for harvest to appear You rearrange the memory To keep the cage inside of me I try to run, I try to wake But every step is just a fake Your silhouette is in the glass Watching all the hours pass Caught in the current of your spell Living in your mind games hell. [Chorus] Oh, it’s all just mind games now The broken pact, the silent vow You play the queen, you play the pawn Until the sanity is gone Around the circle, back to start Cutting deep into my heart Mind games. [Bridge] The static hums a heavy tune Underneath a jagged moon You rewrite history on the wall Waiting for the sky to fall I am the piece you move at will While the world is standing still. [Chorus] Oh, it’s all just mind games now The broken pact, the silent vow You play the queen, you play the pawn Until the sanity is gone Around the circle, back to start Cutting deep into my heart Mind games. [Outro] The echoes fade into the dark You leave a cold and empty mark The pieces scatter on the floor I don't play these mind games anymore.
