Zero Sum Game

I’m on borrowed time for the days I’ve wasted
So I chase them down with a glass of hatred
Tried to taste the faith but I stuck with the spirits
Ingest with haste but I’ll never fear it
So come one and come all
It’s the greatest attraction your eyes have ever seen
We’re going to make a scene
Together we’ll watch mankind fall
Asleep at the wheel and drive this circus through a goddamn tree
Step up and pick your poison there’s so many to choose
Let’s gamble with addiction I’m all in I can’t lose
I think you’ve got your demons mixed up again
Fooled by the lifestyle and the slight of hand
If nothing good ever lasts, let’s cheers to oblivion and pour another glass
We live in a world of underachievers
Content with being comfortable and indirect yet never sober
An intellect suffering society’s hangover
So step up and pick your poison there’s so many to choose
Let’s gamble with addiction I’m all in I can’t lose
I think you’ve got your demons mixed up again
Fooled by the lifestyle and the slight of hand
If nothing good ever lasts, let’s cheers to oblivion and poor another glass
(Drink it down, smoke it up, hide yourself in clouded lungs, hazy eyes and
empty cups)
It’s a cycle of staying numb
It’s out of my hands the person I’ve become
These vices take a part before they take the whole
Before they take it all
Drink it down, smoke it up
Hide yourself in clouded lungs
Hazy eyes and empty cups
But this addiction digs under my skin and every now and then I still let it in
Just to revel in the afterglow of when we danced on graves of bad decisions
It’s a cycle of staying numb
It’s out of my hands the person I’ve become
These vices take a part before they take the whole
Before they take it all
