[VERSE 1] I used to bet on the wicked The wretched and sick In the crowd One spin Of the wheel let me win I gave up on waiting around How long could I bask in denial? The weight of my doubt Left me stranded [Chorus] All of the bleeding words Spilling out of your head All of the bitterness Thought that you never had It's only a little while Til it's out of your hands [VERSE 2] I heard the shake, I deserved it A quake under ground Where I lived I tossed and turned like a fire A restless And meaningless fit Tied down, so used to defeat The heat of the end Let me out [Chorus] [BRIDGE] I played it close I'm sure Only to leave my ghost at the door Time is a friend of yours And will be there Even more than you know [Chorus]
