John Tracy - The Shallow Game Lyrics

We pass our time like a weary task
I don't listen, and you don't ask
Silent voices, unsaid words
Empty lives, where nothing stirs

How do I sing
When there's no breath
How do I dream
When hope has already left
I'm drowning in the shallow game

We face each other across a chasm ledge
Victims of a shattered pledge
Powerless to close the gap
Too numb to cry or laugh

How do you sing
When there's no breath
How do you dream
When hope has already left
You're drowning in the shallow game
The shallow game

Remnants of
Trusted love
But we're strangers now
Asking how

How do we sing
When there's no breath
How do we dream
When hope has already left
We're drowning in the shallow game
The shallow game
Mmm... hmmm...
