From the recording Illogical Sounds
“A Game You Played” unravels like a confession spoken into a dim room—half-memory, half-warning.
The song moves through fractured rhythms, dissonant pulses, and unstable emotional ground, tracing the aftermath of a love built on manipulation and vanishing promises.
Cold bass lines drag against broken drums, while the voice hovers between accusation and surrender, carrying the weight of something never fully given, never fully real.
This is a portrait of damage disguised as devotion—of a game played in shadows, where the cost was never clear until everything was gone.
Lyrics
You carved your name in crooked air,
A ghost that trembled everywhere.
Your laughter cut me like a blade,
A quiet ruin you never stayed.
A distant echo in my skin,
A game you played I couldn’t win.
You moved like static
sharp, unfinished.
You left your shadow
half-extinguished.
I watched the night bend out of shape,
Your absence wearing my escape.
The streetlights flickered into bone,
I walked their rhythm all alone.
Your touch a riddle, sharp and frayed,
A game you played… and I obeyed.
A broken pulse,
a crooked fall.
You gave me nothing
and took it all.
You stained my breath in winter’s glass,
A moment stretched that couldn’t pass.
I chased your echo through the grime,
A ghost suspended out of time.
And all I had unmade, unpaid,
A game you played,
then walked away.
