Stare through me
Eyes burning
Stare through me
I see you giving up your hand
Eyes burning
Into the back of his head
Aces hidden up sleeves of cheaters, liars and thieves
Dealer folding a straight
And debtor flushing
Drag him kicking out the back
Struggling hands around his neck
Can’t fool me
Or hide from me
Wrapping fists around his head
Lessons learned or common sense
Can't cheat death or hide from it
Turning pockets for his debts, concrete tearing at his skin
Can't fool me, can't fool me
Keep walking, you’ll find your way to the bridge
Cold pistol pressed in the back of his head
Switchblade hidden in sheathe, in reach while down on his knees
Dealer making him beg and debtor plotting
How to keep his blood and veins from spilling out, ending up in cold and shallow ground
Stare through me now, stare through me
Moon shining down
What do you see?
I see a broken, beaten man, I see a coward at the end
Can’t fool me now, can’t fool me
It’s a long way down
Gut sinking
I am a broken, beaten man
I am a coward at the end
Dealer puts away his gun and tells the debtor to run
Dealer walks along the tracks, sun is rising at his back
Can't fool me, run from me
Rattling memories around his head
Death at home and in the trench
Can't fool me, can't shake me
Can’t drink enough to make me drown
Bridge and river pull me down
Don't feel me, stay shaking
