the most dangerous game
you spotted me inside of the crowd
you noticed i looked mature for my age
i didn’t know you were hunting me down
the focus of your lascivious gaze
my mom yelled at me
so i came to your house
like a refugee
so i’d be safe and sound
and we’d never speak of the things we were doing wrong
you smiled at me
we were playing hide and seek
forever safe inside your paradise
late night movies
you were always there for me
how could my nightmare feel so nice?
it starts off and i’m feeling like i’m a moth to your flame
does this mean that i’m the one who’s to blame?
i was praying for a savior, you’re the person who came
now we’re playing the most dangerous game
the weeks go by
you and i playing house
i don’t know why
but i’m missing my past
i loved it here
but i’m starting to doubt
unbreakable heaven, how long can it last?
feeling empty
longing for my home
rose colored glasses started to fade
you’ll be upset
if i leave you alone
on christmas eve,
that’s when i’ll escape
you’re fast asleep
and i know it’s time to leave
i swear i won’t forget this paradise
goodbye baby
thanks for all you’ve done for me
that’s when my nightmare came to life
it starts off and i see them there laughing without shame
is my family really glad i’m away?
like i’m some sort of stranger and they’ve forgotten my name
guess it’s back to the most dangerous game
back home without a sound is the way that i came
can’t risk losing the most dangerous game
but he needs to know the truth and i’m so sorry to complain
i need out of the most dangerous game
you’ve got me missing soft pretzels and my mother’s soft hands when i fall
chillin’ with my best friends, laughing as we stroll through the mall
and i know you said you loved me
and i promised i would give you my all
but it’s hard in here, you make it hard
and then you told me that you caught me
when i snuck out before christmas night
that was when you got angry
and you screamed at me during our first fight
then you locked the door behind me
and i tried to escape with all my might
now i’m scared down here, you make me scared
thought you would play fair but i’m the one who got played
forever trapped in the most dangerous game
i was praying for a savior now i’m praying to be saved
get me out of the most dangerous game
am i really the one who is to blame?
manipulated by the sick and depraved?
by a predator and with no escape?
get me out of the most dangerous game

This song, whose title is derived from “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, is from my collection of lyrics called crimes of passion. These lyrics are inspired by Kate Wallis’s storyline in Season 1 of Freeform’s Cruel Summer.
