Well, I meant to leave the table, but I've been playing all night long.
Yes, I meant to leave the table, but I've been playing all night long.
And I am betting all my chips - but my hand is not that strong.
I am staring at reality and it is staring back at me.
Now I'm staring at reality and it is staring back at me.
You got to keep a poker face, son, if you want to bluff reality.
I've got aces up my sleeves, boys, because you have to have it planned.
There are aces up my sleeves, because you have to have it planned.
If reality looks away for a second, you know I can win this hand.

Salvation and Turpentine
Dead tired,
limbs gone lazy
after a completely hellish day.
I’m relaxing into a glass of something toxic.
Amber salvation chilled with ice.
It’s deceptively pretty
but goes down
like turpentine.
Dead alone,
with a welcome burn
that I hope will leave me numb.
I try not to think of his hands, calloused but gentle.
How easily they could unbend me.
I settle for escape
in the form of
self-medication.

cynical: arsenical
splinter-thorn boy,
it will all start to
d i s i n t e g r a t e
beneath you
you are
the least beautiful way to unravel -
all maggot-rot, no
split-thread, no
ribbon-torn boy
an architect of
self-abuse;
a god of
ru(i)n(n)ing
[away] &
no:
there is nothing holy about you

Forget-me-not #2
You're a little blue flower flourishing in my head
nourished by all the things between us left unsaid

Nice lyrics. I could probably help you expand on the song.
