17岁嘅时候写呢首歌, 𠮶阵时考紧DSE
好似我哋一生出来, 读左10几年书就系为咗考呢个试
几个钟嘅试卷决定我哋嚟紧50年嘅命运
DSE只系人生"考试"嘅序幕

社会就好似一个游戏，有好多潜规则要跟
学生要考好试先叫做好学生
女人要嫁个有钱人
男人要有车有楼先叫成功
我哋从来冇参与过, 一出世就已经有人帮我地写好剧本
"咩叫应该做,咩先叫做啱"
无论系赢定输其实我哋都活系个游戏里面

与其去谂点样可以系社会帮你定既游戏里面赢
不如谂下自己系咪真系想、钟意玩而个游戏
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
