Switch Off The Game

In the night I boot and read

a shadow loads into the scene

teary eyed assuming grief

but there’s nothing more to see

Don’t be scared to leave the dream

you’ve still got the memories

Not the same, but if you need

you should know we can rewind and repeat

Look, I know just what they meant to you

a sprite but still a friend

so much more than play pretend

but the fun must always end

cause the sun has met its fate

each routine was ran and played

everyone you met is safe

old machines have since been tamed

Although they may be gone

I’m here to sing their song

So keep it strong

don’t fear you’ve done them wrong

Oh switch off the game

recordings aren’t the same

they’ll be okay

so live your life again

Niko left so long ago

you saved the day; I sent them home

living life but never shown

separated but you know

you don’t have to be alone

since they left you’ve been so low

It’s okay to hold out hope

but you need to say goodbye, let them go

What you had with them was real

just imagine how they’d feel

you’ve the drive to let it heal

but your hands won’t grab the wheel

Know the pain’s not here to stay

Tears fade and wash away

leave this place and have some faith

that you’ll meet again one day

Although i/they may be gone

I’m here to sing along/their song

So keep it strong

don’t fear you’ve done them/me wrong

Oh switch off the game

recordings aren’t the same

I'll be okay

so live your life again
