Arcade - Intellectual

(Verse One)

Rack em up like it’s pool

Yet again, I play the fool

Trapped within these flashing lights

Tossing, turning, sleepless nights

Through all of the attempts and failures, guess he’s not the one

Why does it have to work this way?

So sick and tired of the games

I’m quickly running out of quarters

And there’s just one thing I’m sure of

Playing roulette with my heart just leaves me dizzy and done

(Chorus)

I just wanna be done

Stuck in this arcade

I don’t wanna play

I don't wanna play anymore

(Verse Two)

I hate playing these slots

Oh, my stomach tied in knots

Trapped within this constant back and forth

From here, can almost see the door

But my feet cemented, why do I keep racking them up?

Why does it have to end this way?

On repeat, the choices I’ve made

Don’t think I’ll be the winner

As I age, my chances growing thinner

Why’s it so hard for someone like me to find true love?

(Chorus)

Why can’t I find love?

Stuck in this arcade

I don’t wanna play

I don't wanna play anymore

(Bridge)

Damn it, how do I beat this?

All these players conceded

Don’t know how I’m still breathing

All I am Is so defeated

Damn it, these men I’ve been seeking

And the way that I’ve been treated

Don’t know how I’m still breathing

All I am is so defeated

Damn it, how do I beat this?

All these players conceded

Don’t know how I’m still breathing

All I am Is so defeated

Damn it, these men I’ve been seeking

And the way that I’ve been treated

Don’t know how I’m still breathing

All I am is so defeated

(Outro)

Please don’t make me beg

Given arms, given legs

Please don’t make me beg

Given arms, given legs

All I want is to feel safe

Hate that I have to beg

Playing in this arcade for

(Arcade for, arcade for)

Years and haven’t won once
