[VERSE 1]
I used to bet on the wicked
The wretched and sick
In the crowd
One spin
Of the wheel let me win
I gave up on waiting around
How long could I bask in denial?
The weight of my doubt
Left me stranded
[Chorus]
All of the bleeding words
Spilling out of your head
All of the bitterness
Thought that you never had
It's only a little while
Til it's out of your hands
[VERSE 2]
I heard the shake, I deserved it
A quake under ground
Where I lived
I tossed and turned like a fire
A restless
And meaningless fit
Tied down, so used to defeat
The heat of the end
Let me out
[Chorus]
[BRIDGE]
I played it close I'm sure
Only to leave my ghost at the door
Time is a friend of yours
And will be there
Even more than you know
[Chorus]
