I'm throwing all my cards on the tablenWhile I'm young and while I'm ablen'Cause I think I've got a good handnAnd it's about time that I took commandnThe stakes are high but the winnings worth losing it allnAnd you know that I'd hate myself if I never tried at allnSo all or nothing through pain and all my sufferingnTo come out on top and then never stopnRisk more than I have to do what I wantnAnd hope that in the end I'll be content with thatnCan't go through life without questioning anythingnOr you'll be blindly believingnSomething that they're telling you something that you know's untruenDon't want to be another patch on a quilt that's plainnI'd rather be a splinter instead of going with the grainnSo what are my dreams for to see but never reach fornAm I chasing my dreams or following the streamnSomeone help me out 'cause I'm gonna drownnAnd save me from myself and these troubled watersnAnd if tomorrow I knew I'd dienYou better believe that I would not hidenAnd if tomorrow I knew I'd dienYou better believe I'd stop wasting my time
