I'm like a gambler in a velvet-curtained room nHalf-light and shadow, nothing is moving nI'm playing but I know that I'm losing nGood money after bad nI fooled myself that her number was lucky nI stare at my phone, my phone stares back at me nI feel my fingers pushing down at the keys nGood faith after bad nnAnd nothing dies easy, it holds on until the end nIt takes all of your power to push the blade in nA last glow in the ashes, a last spark in the eye nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell nBreaking another wild part of myself nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell, breaking the will nnEvery sound you hear is the sound of nSomething praying for more life to be given nFor maybe just another precious second nAnd every junkie I've known trying to do straight time nLeaves a little piece of their soul behind nYou can't shed your skin like you think you can, like I think I can nnAnd nothing dies easy, it holds on until the end nIt takes all of your power to push the blade in nThe last glow in the ashes, a last spark in the eye nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell nBreaking another bad part of myself nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell, nothing dies easy nnSo a toast to the mercy killings nFor all these cursed obsessions nFor all the useless passions nFor when I'm shot and gone nnBecause nothing dies easy, it holds on until the end nIt takes all of your power to push the blade in nThe last glow in the ashes, a last spark in the eye nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell nBreaking another wild part of myself nBreaking the glamour, breaking the spell, breaking the will n
