He's a gambler, spinning wheels

A poison victim, look of steel

The coldest hands you've ever held

Take him down, all his way

A million miles, still no headway

In his mind I'm proud to roam

Defiantly real, there's nothing fake

He says my destiny

Lies in the hands that set me free
verse 2
E A
A reckless night, he hears me breathe
Cursing the skies of this company
You've lost the wisdom deep inside
His bitterness shows it's side
If it's true I'll doom
What more is there to hold onto?
Strength of head is all I own
If to me this sorry's whole

He's elusive and I'm awake
