This one is another tune I had already written before the album and theming were conceptualized, so I definitely had to change some lyrics to fit it. It used to be from the POV of a child not wanting to go to bed until their parent comes and plays pretend with them for a bit, but with a couple lyric changes, it easily fit into the theming of denial and grief, very much ignoring the grand issue at hand. Because I wrote it before the album was conceptualized, it was definitely more suited to my normal sound (the sort of christian-rock sound found in House Of Glass, I Don't Know, Fly My Kite, etc.), so I kept it faithful to that sound and just added a guitar solo, lol. -------------------------------- Lyrics: (v1) In the jungle of corridors Circling and boxing me in It sometimes gets hard To remember where I've been So I keep inside Of a three-track mind A one room world for two Yet I find myself With no one else This empty space was meant for you, oh (chorus) I told myself that I'd be free Away from tragedy If everything's in front of me Then why can't I believe I see no friends I guess I'll pretend (v2) If your wandering from town to town See if you can find where I am I'd show you the way But you just don't understand It’s a simple game Where you hide away And the other looks around So, here I'll stay And here I'll wait We'll play until I have been found (repeat chorus) (quiet half chorus) I altered my reality Look what it's done to me (repeat chorus)
