The Shallow Game

We pass our time like a weary task
 I don't listen, and you don't ask
 Silent voices, unsaid words
 Empty lives, where nothing stirs
 How do I sing
 When there's no breath
 How do I dream
 When hope has already left
 I'm drowning in the shallow game
 We face each other across a chasm ledge
 Victims of a shattered pledge
 Powerless to close the gap
 Too numb to cry or laugh
 How do you sing
 When there's no breath
 How do you dream
 When hope has already left
 You're drowning in the shallow game
 The shallow game
 Remnants of
 Trusted love
 But we're strangers now
 Asking how
 How do we sing
 When there's no breath
 How do we dream
 When hope has already left
 We're drowning in the shallow game
 The shallow game
 Mmm... hmmm...
