Strapped to a bed in my private white room
All I want to hear is that I’ll be leaving soon
The nurse thinks she’s helping, the doctor does too
But everything is the same and nothing is new
They don’t understand me
They all pretend to care
I guess life’s a game
And life doesn’t play fair
Now wrapped in my dreams from a drug-induced sleep
The voices are waiting for it’s me they must greet
They tell me to be strong, they tell me don’t cry
They says it’s okay if I don’t want to die
This is when I give in, for their comfort I seek
They are so strong and I feel so weak
I tell them I can do it, I just need some more time
They say if I fail then the fault will be mine
While the last thing I hear is that I should do fine
They don’t understand me
They all pretend to care
I guess life’s a game
And life doesn’t play fair
I try to get loose, but the attempt is in vain
I wish this never happened, I wish they knew I was sane
But I know I can’t fail, or the voices will be mad
They’ll say I misbehaved, they’ll say I’ve been bad
So I pick at the leather strap with my teeth
And once I am loose, I untie my feet
I’m finally free, so I get off my bed
And I try to remember what the voices had said
They don’t understand me
They all pretend to care
I guess life’s a game
And life doesn’t play fair
They left me a present; I would find it in a box
They told me to get it before twelve o’ clock
I know I must hurry, I must find it soon
I know that my gift is somewhere in this room
After I search, I finally see
The treasure the voices had left just for me
It was under my bed, and I pull it out
Already the voices begin to scream and shout
‘Hurry up and get it!’
Or ‘Don’t worry, its fine’
They told me to keep it because it’s now mine
Smiling to myself, I cock the gun
I can’t wait until tomorrow; it’ll be so much fun
They don’t understand me
But I know the voices care
I guess life’s a game
And I’m not playing fair
