Risking It All

by Courtney   Sep 24, 2006


How close is close?
Is it too close?
Close to death, close to life
Close to running out of light?
When you risk it all
Do you think about the caution?
Do you think about the pain?
Do you think about the gain?
When you risk it all
Slitting the wrists, cutting the throat
Pulling the trigger, making you choke
Risking it all is risking your life
Risking the bullet in a gun
Or risking the blade on a knife
How close is close?
When you get as close as you can
Taking all your pills
You'll know how it feels
To risk it all on your life
Because its all worth
Some blood on a knife
A bullet in the head
Somebody ending up dead?
How close is close
When your playing with death
Its like a card game
Its all chance and skill
And your will
To win.
So thats how close, close really is
When your risking it all
When your risking your life
When your risking your fall.
