Kicked back: The shot of Everclear.
A smile: Like something's on your mind.
A question: Have you come to find
The meaning of our scheming, dear?
The rules are simple to the game:
Don't need, don't lust- the rest is fine.
But simply wink, and say my name.
And you will beat me every time.
Your cuts are clear. They realize
That we and they are not the same;
But if you let me love your pain,
I'll hide it from their probing eyes.
Come dance with me, devoid of light,
And know me, with your eyes divine;
Then you may have my soul tonight,
And you will beat me every time.
So tell me, darling, which is worst:
The dream, the dreamer, or the sleep?
Please save the dreams I couldn't keep.
Please heed my secrets, trapped in verse.
Your knuckles white, your will is set.
You draw the Devil (death defined.)
I'll say a prayer and place my bet,
But you will beat me every time.
