17歲嘅時候寫呢首歌, 嗰陣時考緊DSE
好似我哋一生出來, 讀左10幾年書就係為咗考呢個試
幾個鐘嘅試卷決定我哋嚟緊50年嘅命運
DSE只係人生"考試"嘅序幕

社會就好似一個遊戲，有好多潛規則要跟
學生要考好試先叫做好學生
女人要嫁個有錢人
男人要有車有樓先叫成功
我哋從來冇參與過, 一出世就已經有人幫我地寫好劇本
"咩叫應該做,咩先叫做啱"
無論係贏定輸其實我哋都活係個遊戲裏面

與其去諗點樣可以係社會幫你定既遊戲裡面贏
不如諗下自己係咪真係想、鍾意玩而個遊戲
We are the creators of our game
No one can tell which game fits you the most, but yourself

in the smoky room we are both suffocating
searching for the neon which never ignites our life
put the hourglass upside down and you’ll see our golden ages
crave for dream and recklessness
# but time is rolling rolling rolling
dreams are melting melting melting
my heart is haunted haunted
life is veiling veiling veiling
friendship is breaking breaking breaking
memories are fading fading fading
tears are running running
life is veiling veiling veiling #

* I wanna quit the game
tears with no meaning
I wanna quit the game
it is all about fame
I wanna quit the game
it is all about fame
I wanna quit the game
only pain no pain

naivety and innocence veil our sight
he’s the apple of my eyes
but his pupil is flooded with lies
hard to follow trend
our names are tag on exams
marks our same destined track
nothing but ink on my hand

but time is rolling rolling rolling
dreams are melting melting melting
my heart is haunted haunted
life is veiling veiling veiling
friendship is breaking breaking breaking
memories are fading fading fading
tears are running running
life is veiling veiling veiling

I wanna quit the game
tears with no meaning
I wanna quit the game
it is all about fame
I wanna quit the game
it is about fame
I wanna quit the game
No gain but pain

my life is a mess and I show no might
turn the tide and you’ll see the light
quitting the game is no coward
cause we are living in a twisted world
scattered around the room’re gloomy memories
But soon one day they will be history
just be yourself and you’ll find the daylight
just be yourself and you’ll find the daylight
quitting game is no coward
