lyrics

I had the opportunity to be indelicate
The clash of you and me was without precedent
Prior to the mark on you I brawled with hesitance
You flashed your dark side too and I've had no regret since
I brought a thumb tack to a sword fight
Yah I was bound to lose but somehow I survived

Thrown to the lions I stashed cat nip in my cheek
Ready to spit out on you, just as they were unleashed
The earth spins around again, a consolation for the meek
Vengeance ain’t mine but just this time I’ll play the thief
I brought a shotgun to your roulette game
Had I a cylinder to spin, it would have ended just the same

I know what you want, because I can read your tell
You can only hide the truth, with a sound lie to yourself
Chaos is parent to both death and life as well
So roll the dice and see, which way you are impelled
I brought a love note to an open mic
For my part I’m set to start my journey back tonight

Can you blame the parched for their unquenchable thirst?
You'd want sympathy too if the roles were reversed
It takes feats of strength to place someone else first
To pass the canteen on, to do so unrehearsed
Who locked the rooster with the hens all night?
And what would anyone expect when they collide?
Who brought these chicks to the cockfight?
If blood is bound to spill, best make it justified
