i want to change the game
the tireless stream of empty opponents
like cardboard pop-ups at a firing range
another broken wing to fix
another plastic smile that fades too soon
when reality sets in
i want to change the game
the endless indecision
choose your color, choose your cause
choose the reasons to stay today
but the mission is always the same
when everyone is a sore loser at the end
i want to change the game
collaboration vs. competition
i have no doubt that i would succeed
but how many enemies do we collect
on our way to the top
before it is enough to feel enough?
i want to change the game
i have all the right
and all the power to do so
the fine line between beautiful balance
and toxic opposition
it’s not important just to win on my own anymore
simply for my own sake
i want to change the game
into an unforgettable dance of twin flames
with glittering lights
and the soundtrack of all time
strategy takes a backseat to bliss
for once
i want to extend my hand
and truly accept the offer
for the very first time
without having to ask
if the dice are loaded
