Another morning, collect the bonus
Like I always do
The rain is pouring, it's looking hopeless
Nothing else is new
Talk to another NPC but there are still a thousand more
Follow their words to the last degree in a game more like a chore
If I forget the reason that I even logged in
Pretend I'm helping out a party that will not win
But all I do is hold you back from getting closer to the true goal
This story is a bore
I don't know what I'm fighting for
Will I make it to the end
Of this playing pretend
And with every day that passes
It's getting harder just to play
But why would it even matter
If it's nothing but a game
Another sidequest deep in the woods, never been explored
Do I like this? I guess I could if I never did before
Am I just stalling for more time until I have to go back home?
Will I ever find the light when I strayed so far alone?
If I forget the reason that I even logged in
Pretend I'm helping out a party that will not win
But all I do is hold you back from getting closer to the true goal
This story is a bore
I don't know what I'm fighting for
Will I make it to the end
Of this playing pretend
And with every day that passes
It's getting harder just to play
But why would it even matter
If it's nothing but a game
I've been thinking that I should delete my file
Log off and stop playing for a while
There won't be much that I'm leaving behind
I'm sure the other players won't mind
This story is a bore
I don't know what I'm fighting for
Will I make it to the end
Of this playing pretend
And with every day that passes
It's getting harder just to play
But why would it even matter
If it's nothing but a game
