I play the odds for any
Coins the gods might toss us
You are content just gazing
At the stars that cross us

They keep us throwing things to wish upon
But it's never enough to loose our bonds
They keep taunting us with fantasies
Compromises for improbabilities

Oh please, please ask me to fight
Don’t ask me to sacrifice
Oh please, let us have ground to stand
Don't ask me to fold my hand

Oh please, please ask me to fight
Don't ask me to sacrifice
Oh please, let us have ground to stand
Don’t ask me to fold my hand

I keep my cards close to my
Chest but feel it pumping
For you I try but fail
At concealing one thing

I am a hack artist of truths left unsaid
You have a way of getting into my head
Desperation is our biggest threat
When outside forces force us into their debt
Oh please, please ask me to fight
Don't ask me to sacrifice
Oh please, let us have ground to stand
Don't ask me to fold my hand

Oh please, please ask me to fight
Don't ask me to sacrifice
Oh please, let us have ground to stand
Don't ask me to fold my hand
