Sometimes the picture on the wall
Is nobody at all
It takes you as you fall
Sometimes the faces that you see
Are lost in fantasy
They're intoxicating me
In cold light of day
The games that you play
Will mean that you lay
High stakes
Sometimes the steps that you must make
To make sure hearts don't break
Are impossible to take
The prize that keeps eluding me
Is there for all to see
The cost is sanity
