about

I wrote this loosely based off of the movie, The Fountain, & the issue of winning against death in the movie.
The lyrics make it seem like some breakup song, but hopefully this helps!

lyrics

So now you're playing me like I'm some lottery..
when you're the one to be won. Tell me, what do you want?

Now I'm playing you, & doing everything you think that you wanted me to. Such a waste of time; I'm sorry if I've wasted your time.

And I've
got no reason to lie.
It makes it easier to say good-bye.
And I
know you're an Ancient Child:
born of this world, but meant to live free and wild.
