Lyrics:
Original Version
Bow: Contestants get to have all the fun!
If you're on the show you've already won!
Now that I no longer compete, I feel incomplete.
Taking part in the action, made for easy interaction with friends.
And nothing was the same
once it wasn't just a game,
I never wanted it to end!
I hope that I could feel alive again!
Marshmallow: Without the game you dont feel alive?
Bow: Yeah! Haha, ah
Marshmallow: Contestants are divided for fun.
They face challenges that are never done.
Since every single person you meet
could cause your defeat.
All they want is your reaction,
as you become a fraction, a blend.
Between who you really are
and what you know could get you far,
it's not meant for us to transcend.
We have someone upon whom we depend.
Bow and Marshmallow: We have someone upon whom we depend.
In fact when I
think of that life,
it isn't really living...
at all...

Bow: I had easy interaction with friends.
Marshmallow: And it would be a shame, if we stayed what we became.
Bow: And nothing was the same, once it wasn't just a game.
Marshmallow: It's up to us,
Bow: I never wanted it to end!
Marshmallow: to transcend.
Bow: I hoped that I could feel alive again.
Marshmallow: I only want to feel alive again.
Bow and Marshmallow: In fact when I
think of that life,
it isn't really living...
at all...
