Bold colors at my feet
Pop music keeps the beat
Stuck playing hands that have us wanting to retreat
Another loser gets up, gives up his seat
My pain is deeper than they can feel
Gripping my chest, I know it is real
A better life than to gamble or steal
No emergency could ever stop this deal
Empathy Emulates the words that I write
Sometimes by day, but mostly in the midst of the night
Sitting with my demons and the battles I fight
I try to stay the course, but I sometimes lose sight
There is no comfort in getting the hand
There's little feeling for the 21 I land
Double down, strike up the band
I like gambling better when I'm near the sand
Sitting with the degenerates praying for a pot
Losing is the trend more times than not
Split 'em and double it's worth a shot
Don't let them know what it is you got
Empathy Emulates the words that I write
Sometimes by day, but mostly in the midst of the night
Sitting with my demons and the battles I fight
I try to stay the course, but I sometimes lose sight
Race 10 goes official, 3 got the loss
3 to 2 favorite so what does that cost
I'm damaged and it's really starting to show
Searching for the doors and a time to go
Ace high for the dealer is a push
Ask me, it belongs in the league of the bush
Rules change like underwear round here
And not for the better it's very clear
Empathy Emulates the words that I write
Sometimes by day, but mostly in the midst of the night
Sitting with my demons and the battles I fight
I try to stay the course, but I sometimes lose sight
Do you think like me like a knife in your neck
Called it a day, figured what the heck
Two holes and the vampire is attached
Draining a purpose once unmatched
I remember the days when it was just us
Nothing went wrong, never had a fuss
Where are you today while I fall apart
Where are you with my broken heart
Empathy Emulates the words that I write
Sometimes by day, but mostly in the midst of the night
Sitting with my demons and the battles I fight
I try to stay the course, but I sometimes lose sight
Love Lady T, she is now my filly
No, not a gal, just my horse, silly
I took her on top and an exacta box
Throw in the 6 and the paddock rocks
