endless play

wailing out to somewhere else
i don't know what i'm doing
pick a spot on the floor to land
ready to take the fall
empty promises believed
but now i'm a little skeptical
why would you go on that way?
if you were just playing around

(chorus)
it's an endless play
made for tv land
nothing more to say
i'm playing out this hand
proof beyond a doubt
was more than i could see
i'm left with flesh and bones
while on my soul you feed

falling down like a tired stone
out of the grasp that had me
pull my dreams and lock the door
tired of being tired
icy heart with a mortal face
taking the breaks and running
how can you forget me now?
just when i started smiling

(chorus)
it's an endless play
made for tv land
nothing more to say
i'm playing out this hand
proof beyond a doubt
is more than i could see
i'm left with flesh and bones
while on my soul you feed
