Gambler

Fall for the restless gambler
Stone heart, there no reviving life from long ago
Big bets, a full house, surrounds 'em
Let's give you a peak through my quartzite bravado
A smile on my face as I'm
Stuck in this role
No house ever wins
When I make it my home
Just wagers, just chips
No golden regrets
And now I'm out of time

I've been blessed
And cursed
And punished
You've no idea
The life I've lived
It's been
Cruel, a trial
I've won it
I mean what a climb
Now I'll roll the dice

Will I be

Gone, at last
One final act
I'll win or I'll lose it all
Come try your hand
Are you up to my challenge
Lucky me
Fate, spin the wheel
Didn't climb up this far to fall
The greatest of bets
After all I am just a
Gambler

Go ahead
Use me
Oh I told you
You can stab me in the back if you see fit
I'm a tool of the trade
A masquerade
That will always pay off
For me, I admit

Hide and seek
No you'll never find me
Locked up, I'm lost
So far behind, see
Gone is the wonder
The family, the blunders
My winning streak

Has them on their knees
But they don't see the hand clutching on for dear life
They don't see the man as he tries and he tries to stand tall
After everything, here I am

Will I be
Gone, at last
One final act
I'll win or I'll lose it all
Come try your hand
Are you up to my challenge
Lucky me
Fate, spin the wheel
Didn't climb up this far to fall
The greatest of bets
After all I am just a
Gambler

I was shown my place
But I didn't care for it
You've no ace
'Cause my hand's looking devilish
What you gonna do
Your days are nearly through
Only the grandest deaths
For guests like you
Putting down the bet
I'm placing the wager
I'm claiming the win
Hey, maybe you'll go all in

With these lies I spin
Will I finally be

Gone, at last
One final act
I'll win or I'll lose it all
Come try your hand
Are you up to my challenge
Lucky me
Fate, spin the wheel
Didn't climb up this far to fall
The greatest of bets
After all I am just a
