The New Game

Mudvayne The New Game Lyrics
1.Fish Out Of Water

I'm a fish out of water,
kill me and choke on the bones
Nothing seems to matter anymore,
Gotta get back to the reason,
gotta get back to the hole
Someone throw me an anchor,
gotta drown this disease
No one seems to matter anymore
Gotta get back to the meaning,
gotta get back to the score
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust your lies, then you betray me
I don't want this I don't need you
Up the creek with no paddle,
through the cars of a board
No one seems to carry at all anymore
Gotta get back to the meaning,
gonna break backs of the poor
Let me tell you a secret,
so you can tattle and leave
No one holds to their honesty anymore
Gotta get back to the stealing,
gotta take back from the hoard
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust youre lies, then you betray me
I don't want this, I don't want you.
I don't wanna change
Who do you wanna be,
the summit of integrity
Or the bottom, the filth, the dichotomy
All these fallen angels,
skeletons of what they once were
Hanging in the closet for the world to see
Another fallen angel,
faced by demons on their judgment
Hanging from the gallows for us all to see it
Buy my soul, so you can sell me
I don't need this, I don't need you
Trust your lies, then you betray me
I don't want this, I don't want you


2.Do What You Do

Lips bleed from the rings,
All these little bruises, the little things,
That provoke the segregation.
Lead the separation.
Cage and clip the wings.
Little noises, the little screams,
That stop the operation.
Conscious amputation.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

Like a heart that's lost it's beat.
A little boy, that softly weeps,
Overwhelmed with emotion,
Views burns through explosion.
Lost the forest through the trees
Little whispers, the little dreams,
That sparked the recollection.
Constant suffocation.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

I can feel my life is changing,
Changing.
I can feel my heart is jaded,
Jaded.
Left the sticks,
Left the stones,
Words don't hurt,
Mend the bones.
I can feel my life is changing.

Just do what you do,
What you do, what you did to me.
Now I'm stuck in between a rock and nowhere,
With nothing,
With no one.
Just do what you do,
What you do, what you've done to me.
Draw the chalk line around the scene, it's over,
Now it's all over.

Erase the past and leave the pain,
Cleanse the wounds and forget the name.
Lost the will, ran far away,
So it's all over.
Spread the ash and fill the grave,
Lost the tongue and make my way.
Do what you do and go away,
Now it's all over.


3.A New Game

Longer
Inside me
The doe is rising
To clench us to kill
Lusting
Your nothing but you know me
Stand against your will
To satisfy me
Bit by victim
Stealth is me
Sature me
Say all the right things
Just come with me
(Lets go for a ride)
Trust me, don't leave me,
don't be so deceiving, god help me
betray me, the bloodlust and beating
Just wanna play
Just wanna play
A new game

The hunter is in me
The doe is searching
Dash for the kill
Abducted
Take away
Search for the patience
Of 1000 men
Peel my eyes
Lock on target
The covert man
(You never had a chance)
Don't be alarmed
Want some candy?
Just ride over here
(Now Get Inside)
Trust me, don't leave me,
don't be so deceiving, god help me
betray me, the bloodlust and beating
Just wanna play
Just wanna play
A new...
I just wanna play
(Just wanna play)
I just wanna play a Game
A new game

You meant everythin to me
(You know your time has come)
Another broken dawn today
(You know your time has come)
You meant everythin to me
(You know your time has come)
Another broken dawn today
(You know your time has come)

I just wanna play
I just wanna play a Game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again
I'm sure
I just wanna play
I just wanna play a Game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again
I'm sure
I just wanna play
I just wanna play a Game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again
I'm sure
I just wanna play
I just wanna play a Game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again
I'm sure
I just wanna play
I just wanna play a Game
One that you've never played before
One that you'll never play again
I'm sure


4.Have It Your Way

What were you thinking,
What was going on inside your head
Tell me were you drinking
or just plain insane
How were you feelin'
with another couple thousand dead
Or were you lyin'?
Just playin' games
Placing your bets,
Russian roulette
Well on your way
to ending our days
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way

Was it for your father
Did you get a little pat on the head
That's the way to go boy
Clean up his mess
Placing your bets,
Russian roulette
You're on your way
to ending our days
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way

Welcome to the new way
The new world order part two
But I'll be damned if they
Would ever die for you
The world is crashing down
All around us, all around you
The world is falling down
Have it your way,
we have nothing to say
You leave us all behind
Broken with precision
Blind leading the blind
Have it your way
You've left us all behind
Riddled with deception
Pepper us with lye
Have it your way

Bombs bullets and blood
The things that we don't see
The things that we can't touch
Nightmares are reality
The things that we don't see on the TV
Pledge your allegiance
To the bombs bullets and blood
Pledge your allegiance
To the bombs bullets and blood


5.A Cinderella Story

Hold me back and hold me down
Hold me close then push me around
Beat me up, beat me down to the ground
I'm sure I deserve it
Left my world, left me alone
Locked inside. Head becomes my home
Inside a hole buried like a bone
I'm sure you had your reasons
Out of your sight
Are you out of your mind
In my absence your heart never grew fonder
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone
By myself
Had my back then you turned around
Loved by default but were never proud
(I'd) run away but I'm bot allowed
so I suffer through it
Out of your sight
Are you out of your mind
In my absence your heart
never grew fonder
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone

Enough love for the family
Just nothing left for me, ya see?
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
What you've created
Wanted to take a look
and see through a hole without a key
See where I've been missing
God damn you for what I am
Enough love of the family
Just nothing left for me, ya see?
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
What you've created
Wanted to take a look
and see through a hole without a key
See where I've been missing
God damn you for what I'm missing
No one left for me
You just leave me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
I can't believe it so I walk the road
You just left me alone
Tell me please, tell me it ain't so
Had to believe it so I walk alone
So I walk alone

It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea
It's just like Cinderella
Locked up and hid away you've no idea


6.The Hate In Me

Lend me your children to borrow
I just need to send them away
Long eyes and tears of sorrow
I promise I'll keep them safe
So sorry it didn't work out
You believed the liar in me
My God My love My life
My World My loss My rage
Agnostic for the greater good
When the good things seem to be
few and far between
Conscious loss of conscience
Packed the body on ice
just to keep it numb
Blame some things on the past
Threw away everything that I had
Unraveling for the last time,
stepping out of my skin
Cast in Armor
The hate in me, feeling so empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow
Hollow
Assembly of the militant
What are you in our game
Order through anarchy
Hope's a thing of the past
Threw away everything that I had
The hammer falls
The hate in me, feeling empty
The guilt I swallow
Carve the line, skin the face
Stare through me
We'll leave you hollow
Hollow
Wounded, having a loss of feeling
So dead my heart, my life has been ruined
Lost in an instant
Saw red in my eyes
The hate in me, so consuming
The lives we swallow
To the front line, mirror's engaged
Scope's on me
And leaves me hollow
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
Harvest children
My God My Love My Life
My One My Loss My Grave


7.Scarlet Letters

My heart is beating but the soul has died
My body's breathing beneath catatonic eyes
The blood is flowing, set free for demise
I've lost my balance but god knows I tried
I don't want to be here anymore in scarlet letters
Carved into what once was me
Once was yours no more

An uphill battle I failed to climb
I left it all now and I don't mind
Betrayed and broken consumed by the lies
Farewell to you all, I'll be fine. Goodbye
I don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letter
Torn in two, a piece of me,
the peace in you no more

Do you believe in loss
Do you believe in faith
Do you believe in death
Now that I'm gone
Forsaken me, ashes to dust just let me lie
Lay me to rest, I've done my best but lost my sight
Turning my back, leave me alone let spirit rise
Knives in my back, all hope is lost
Say goodbye

I don't want to be here anymore in Scarlet Letters
Got to go, what once was me,
once was yours, no more
I don't want to be here anymore,
I don't want to be here anymore the scarlet letters

Carved into what once was me,
once was yours no more


8.Dull Boy

All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES ME A DULL BOY!!
Live in a secret
Live in a lie
Live in a dark hole
Beneath the black sky
Live like a martyr
And draw my last breath
Feel like an old man
With a knife in my chest
Live like a transient
Live like a thief
Hide in a closet
Grinding my teeth
Sit in a small room
With the walls closing in
Open the shutters
But everything's still dim
Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past
Payback
For everything
There are no take backs
I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all
I'm not the reason (I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault (I'm not your god)
It's not my problem (I'm not your martyr)
I'm not the cause (I'd leave you all)

All work and no play
Makes me a dull boy
Feel like a clown
Without my funny nose
Walk to the window
Break it out with my fist
Jump from the sill
And I'll plunge to my death
You can be selfish
Whatever ya think
Throw back my pills
And take a sip of my drink
Walk under the clouds
Walk under the trees
Always again
Envy covering me
Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past
I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all
I'm not the reason (I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault (I'm not your god)
It's not my problem (I'm not your martyr)
I'm not the cause (I'd leave you all)

Sunshine's gone
It's all gone

By the way
Just so you know
Always
This is how I feel

By the way
Just so you know
Always, everyday
This is how I feel

I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scape goat (I'm not your scape goat)
I'm not your god (I'm not your god)
I'm not your martyr (I'm not your martyr)
This is how I feel (This is how I feel)

By the way
Just so you know
Always, everyday
This is how I feel...


9.Same ol'

Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing


I don't mind going hungry, it's the shit that you feed
I don't mind being broken, lost my will to believe
I don't mind being left to waste, to rot
Mow me down like a weed... so what
So I just don't fit, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't care, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't mind, it's who I wanna be
So I don't give a f**k, it's who I wanna be
I don't mind being tired, when I can't f**kin' sleep
I don't mind being shattered, living a tragedy
I don't mind being bored to death and broke
Another day to me
So what
Clean up. What
Stand straight. So what
Face the front. What
Now listen up. So what
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
I don't mind being abused, pain the the core of me
I don't mind being violent, born in me my disease
I don't mind being bullied and pushed down
Black my eyes, skin my knees
So I just don't fit, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't care, it's who I wanna be
So I just don't mind, it's who I wanna be
So I don't give a f**k, so what
Get in line. What
Stand up straight. So what
Face the front. What
Now listen up. So what
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
Always just the same ol' thing
I'm just a puzzle missin' all the pieces and
I don't care and I don't mind
Why would you care at all
Don't fit, don't care, don't mind
Don't give a f**k
In my face, in my way
In my business breaking me
All the time, every day
Every f**kin' second get away

Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' problems, same ol' days
Same ol' story, same ol' games
Same ol' hustles, same ol' way
Same ol' situation, same ol' days
What? So what?
What? So what?
What? So what?
What? So what?


10.Never Enough

My legs are weary but I still walk
My hands are sown and broken but I still clutch
My love is changing but I still love
My cup is empty but I still pour
All I ever want to be, all I ever need to be
was whatever you wanted me to
But you took that from me, yeah
I was never enough for you
I should have known, I shoud've known
I was never enough for you
Don't waste my time, don't waste my

I lost the feeling but I still touch
I stopped believing but I still trust
All I ever want to be, all I ever need to be
was whatever you wanted me to
But you took that from me, yeah
I was never enough for you
I should have known, I should've known
I was never enough for you
Don't waste my time
All these questions asking why,
I'll just close my eyes
All these people asking why
I'll just wave goodbye

Pushin' forward, I'm sick and tired
I need a little shelter
Drag the glass across my eyes
Gut me open gut me wide
Bleed me for the winner
Just tear it away
I was never enough for you
I should have known, I should've known
I was never enough for you
Don't waste my time,
I was never enough, enough for you
Just wastin' my time, don't waste mine


11.We The People

I thought we the people had a brain
I thought we the people had a say
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Thought I'd seen it on a bumper sticker
I thought we the people had a right
i guess we the people were wrong
We the people always are
Let's go elect another God
The laws they make
I don't give a damn anyway
Rules are made to break to bend to beat to buy
The American dream
Or a bag of magic beans
You can find it on the TV
Whaever you need
Send me your tired your poor and broken
Send me your life so I can break you

We the people can have a plan
We the people can make a stand
Coulda sworn i read it somewhere
Might've seen it in the funny papers
Your money's made to take
To cheat to steal to rob
I can sell you a dream
Fat's bustin' at the seams
You can get it on the TV
Whatever you need
Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so i can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, So i can own you
Control you
Own Buy Sell Out
Own Buy Sell Out
Everyday there's something new to try
Everyday there's something new to buy
Everyday there's a new American dream
Goin' broke in the land of opportunity

Send me your tired, your poor and broken
Send me your life, so I can break you
Give me your trust, your faith and wishes
Give me your life, so I can own you
