You play your card,
I'll play mine,
Shuffle your hand,
Show my poker face,
Once pure,
Now scarred,
You stepped out of line,
So here I stand,
Making chase,
Your lure,
Play the nine,
I dare you,
The card lands,
It's not what I was looking for,
But in life,
It's the same,
Even though I do,
My best,
I'm shown the door,
The door to strife,
They call out my name,
I fall to the floor,
Always waiting for you,
The ace already came,
I can't hold on no more,
It's more of the same,
The five took my life,
The same game,
Even the queen of hearts,
Has come to me,
Handing me the blame,
I wait for the day,
When it all ends,
The pain fades,
And the chips come my way.
