Lead Reckoning,

Close your eyes; be at peace
Drift off to sleep
Covers drawn; buried deep
'Cos you know cold seeps
Through cracks and seams
To whisper through your dreams
Up the quilt; down the sheets
To kiss your frozen feet
Shut your eyes; hug your knees
Pretend you're asleep
Breath is drawn; not a peep
'Cos you know dark creeps
Something follows me everywhere I go
No escaping it that I know for sure
I'm running
Never gaining a moment or an inch
Tantalizingly ever out of reach
It's coming
It's here
I've been saving all my aces for the king of suicide
I've buried al the faces guaranteeing me a ride
On the carousel of starts it doesn't seem so very hard
Ante up, the deck's been cut
When it bleeds you'll bear the scars
My concern is genuine now is the dealer bonafide?
I must defeat these hungry shills and cheats on either side
I've pressed my luck and passed the buck just conquering my divide
My sleeves are clean when the raise is seen
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide
If the dealer's bonafide
He's the King of Suicide
The King of Suicide
