Dangerous Games

You're smoking out the window again, though you quit last May.
Ash on the windowsill — I don't care, I'm not cleaning it away.
We sit in silence, it weighs a ton, I guess.
Your phone is vibrating somewhere on the floor...
I won't ask "who's there," because I don't want to know.
Too late to lie,
Too early to sleep.


This isn't drama, it's just Tuesday.
We drank the poison but forgot the gin and tonic.
Look me in the eye.
Tell me you're not here by accident.

Припев
Dangerous games!
We walk the edge, pulling the emergency brakes.
Dangerous games!
Salt on lips and open wounds.
Whoever blinks first loses it all.
This isn't love, it's just a wheel...
That crushes us flat.
(Yeah, yeah...)


You hide the keys like I'm planning to run.
Funny.
I'm glued to this chair like in a cheap movie scene.
You talk about the weather, plans, all sorts of nonsense.
(Music stops for a split second)
And I watch you choke...
(Music explodes back)
With your words, everything that remained alive.
Take a breath. Let the smoke out.


Adrenaline instead of blood.
We are masters of this brittle, sick craft.
Stand your ground.
Or burn in this evil craft.

Припев
Dangerous games!
We walk the edge, pulling the emergency brakes.
Dangerous games!
Salt on lips and open wounds.
Whoever blinks first loses it all.
This isn't love, it's just a wheel...
That crushes us flat.


One step back — and we're strangers.
One step forward — we're "family" again.
Swings are creaking.
Nerves are buzzing.
Let's untie this knot...
Or pull it tighter!



Припев
Dangerous games!
(We won't stop!)
We walk the edge, pulling the emergency brakes.
Dangerous games!
Salt on lips and open wounds.
Whoever blinks first...
Whoever leaves first...
They are the one who gets saved.


But you don't blink.
And I don't blink.
Dangerous games.
