This was written from a perspective that we all have "two" faces. One we see and one other's see.

I know the game
I know how to play it.
I know the rules
And I know how to win.

I put on my favorite mask
I put on my best music
I buy the best drinks
And I know how to win.

I know when to smile
I know when to be mad
I know when to scorn
And I know how to win.

But when I let my guard down
Because the Game’s weakness is compassion,
I always lose.
