Playing God

Music Video and Origins
This song was written at a time when Hayley was "very angry" and is most likely aimed at her fellow band members who had been considering departure.The music video is the last including

Josh Farro and Zac Farro, who left the band not very long afterwards. It was filmed entirely in Hayley's home in Franklin, Tennesee. It was directed by Brandon Chesbro and features Jeremy Davis' girlfriend, past band member Hunter Lamb, new touring member Jon Howard, and Brandon Chesbro's wife.

In the video Hayley is plays a 'housewife/hostess' figure, who has guests over and begins to remember the moment when she drugged the other four members of the band, who now sit in the basement. This video is a sequel to Ignorance in which the band members tie up Hayley.

Lyrics
Can't make my own decisions Or make any with precision Well maybe you should tie me up So I don't go where you don't want me

ou say that I been changing that I'm not just simply aging Yeah how could that be logical? Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat You don't have to believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror If God's the game you're playing Well we must get more acquainted Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who's holy It's just my humble opinion But it's one that I believe in You don't deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror This is the last second chance

(I'll point you to the mirror) I'm half as good as it gets (I'll point you to the mirror) I'm on both sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror) Without a hint of regret I'll hold you to it

I know you don't believe me

But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror I know you won't believe me But the way I, way I see it Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back Or break it, break it off Next time you point a finger I'll point you to the mirror
