The Fix - Child's Play текст песни

Cal:
Here I see a man
I'm ashamed to recognise
Gazing at his face
I see weakness in his eyes
I won't claim it as my own, then
This shattered face I see
Please take away the mirror
This madman isn't me
How did it happen?
How'd this nightmare come to be...?

My life was child's play
Without regret
Not a game I couldn't win
Or a need that wasn't met
Child's play, I fear
Cannot last
Years fly by
All too fast
And child's play too soon
Is in the past

I see the change
From the mind that once I had
In the looking glass
I can see me going mad
And I'm powerless to stop it
Or counter this attack
And looking in the mirror
The image starts to crack

How did it happen?
And why can't I go back...?

My life was child's play
Carefree and dim
But the child who rules his world
Find in truth the world rules him
Child's play once seemed
Clear as day
But colors fade
To shades of grey
And child's play begins
To slip away

I swear the days were longer
The nights weren't half so cold
I remember how the years went by
But when did I grow old?
The piper must be paid
For the choices that you made
For the songs you were so desperate to know
Yes, take away this mirror
The madman has to go -

My life was child's play
So it began
But the child was never told
What it took to be a man
Child's play now seems
A distance friend
But in the light
It's all pretend
Child's play, I guess
Is at an end

There it is
Final score
Child's play, my boy
And nothing more...
