I open my eyes to a world of darkness
Clinging to a sliver of hope I crouch down low
Gotta go, won’t look back when they call my name
It’s only just begun, our game of tag
A smile is a terrible disguise
And laughter won’t conceal for long
Weak and hurting,
I’m weak and hurting
Chasing my pain in a game of tag
Lift one leg after the other I’m coming for you
I want to be myself, don’t try and stop me
I won’t let you win, I win this time, this time,
I’m gonna get to you, 3 2 1 tag
Contented to be compliant and complaining
Can I accept this other me?
I close my eyes and realize
I’m reaching out to cling to what I can see
A smile is a terrible disguise
And laughter won’t conceal for long
I’ll keep hiding, I’ll keep hiding you
Hiding you
In an endless game of tag
Lift one leg after the other and run to the past
I’m gonna be myself, so don’t get in my way
It’s not a competition, but I win this time, this time,
Game doesn’t stop until we touch, 321 tag
