Playing the Part - Safe Bet

Temporize

I play a vicious game with time

Until it catches up, so I bide

This is how I survive

Rarely ever go out, indifferent and lazy

And tired as hell, there’s no point in believing

That I will get better somehow

Cause I’ve been so detached for a while

Why does it seem like I’m just playing the part?

Is this truly how I feel in my heart?

So I’ve resigned, stepped out of position

It’s not my time, don’t think it ever will be

I’ve gotten so good at hiding what shouldn’t be kept inside

This remains a recurring problem

And I’m to blame, but until I solve it

I can’t relax

Cause too many things fell off track

Can’t get them back

Why does it seem like I’m just playing the part?

Is this truly how I feel in my heart?

I keep my distance, avoid everyone

Cause it’s easy for me to withdraw

From everything that I’m invested in

Like I never connected at all
