there is no rules in this game

we play the game with no rules,
and as the spring is shining,
tearing my chest apart,
there's something beneath your heart
that beats along the game with no rules
and as the fall is coming,
there's something wrong
inside you and me,
all this time, all along.

threads of despair on your fingers
make a cat's cradle for dreams
how do you tell the way it all is
from the way it all had to be?
and your pulse is against the rules
does it mean you're supposed to die?
either bury yourself as deep as you can
or reach the sky
through the soul o'mine
through the glass inside
through its cracks and mistakes forgotten
has no one told you
there's a way to change the past
and all the names and dreams of broken

don't try to touch me
don't make us both regret
close your eyes for just a second
and fall back in the sky
fall back to forget

no need to touch me
I'm just broken
and my heart is out of tone
close your eyes for just a moment
and I'll disappear
in the light you've never seen before

and won't see again,
I'll be the rain
on every pore of your skin and smile
I'll be the ocean
grown from seed
of your perfection and denial

there's no rules in this game
you can love, you can hate
and everything that you can't stand
will be your friend tomorrow
there's no rules for this game
just a life before death
with every day so hollow
