The rules of the game..

<~><~>the rules of the game<~><~>

They never bother, to tell ya farther
Into what you see;

They never care, at all to share
The problems behind their greed;

But that's the rules of the game;

The pain and shame,
Followed up behind your name;

The stain, the flame,
Of what is all the same;

But that's the rules of the game;

They don't teach or preach,
The reason behind their lies;

They just repeatedly reach,
Into the person inside;

But that's the rules of the game;

They stare you down,
Call you names,
"You aren't cool enough to fit in!"

"Your different",[wash my mouth]
"Your weird",
I've heard it all times ten;

They want you to cry,
They want you to scream,
The want you to give in,
Relish in the pain;

And for so long I did,
For so long I screamed,
But no one heard me,
No one but He;

I hid behind drugs,
I hid behind sex, and moneys greed,
I hid behind the pain that brought me to my knees;

I was alone, scared, and utterly broken,
Or so I thought, until I found the secret of livin;

I found out the greatest secret of histories past,
The secret they hide behind thin glass masks;

So call me a name,
Make fun of my pain,
Demolish my name!

But it doesn't matter,
For Now I know, the rules of the game.
