lyrics

I got lost in the world today
I wasn't sure if I could stay
I never thought it would end this way for me

I fell down in the tumbling game
I hurt my leg and now I am lame
I only have myself to blame, you see

And I'll take it, oh I'll take it easy now I know
That everything happens for reasons we can't control

I sank fast in the swimming game
My drowning body swirled around the drain
The rushing water seemed to speak my name

I got burned in the loving game
I struck a match and I lit that flame
The burning fire couldn't be restrained

And I'll take it, oh I'll take it easy now I know
That everything happens for reasons we can't control

I got killed in the dying game
My friends told me it was quite a shame
I hope you think of me if you remain here

And you can take it, oh you'll take it easy now you know
That everything happens for reasons we can't control
