THIS WICKED GAME

Verse

The map is dissolving, the sky’s burning gold

A story in pixels that’s never been told

It’s strange how the quest makes us feel so alive

In a world where only the foolish survive

I never dreamed of a co-op like this

A kingdom of data, a digital bliss

I never dreamed that the fire would grow

Until you were the only safe place I know

Chorus

No, I don't wanna play alone

(This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't wanna play alone

(This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you... with you...

(The only save point I have is you)

Verse

What a wicked game to play

To make me want to stay this way

What a wicked thing to do

To let my spirit anchor to you

What a wicked script to write

To keep us dancing through the night

What a wicked thing to say

That we’ll both fade at the break of day

Bridge

(Music swells—strings and soft electronic beats)

If the screen goes black, if the power dies

I’ll keep the reflection of you in my eyes

Beyond the mechanics, beyond the design

In every timeline, I’m making you mine

We’re more than a sequence, we’re more than a part

Of a world that was built just to break every heart

Pre-chorus

The world was on fire, but the glow looked like stars

The code couldn't handle a love such as ours

I never dreamed I’d find home in a game

Until I heard you whisper my name

Chorus

No, I don't wanna play alone

(This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't wanna play alone

(This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you... with you...

(Don't let the credits roll)

Outro

Nobody loves like we do

Nobody loves like we do

Hold me close while the pixels fade

The most beautiful game we ever played...

(Final soft piano chord lingers and echoes)
