lyrics

If only I could bet on you.
Maybe we could just diffuse all of this smoke.
Too many of you in the mirror to tell
which is the one that really cares.
It isn’t fair.

Roll of the dice.
Some days nasty. Some days nice.
Need good vibes to keep me tight.
Need someone to treat me right.
(Treat me right)
I play by my own rules.
I play by my own rules.
I play by my own rules.

Placate with gaslighters.
Fall for that a million times.
Maybe this just how you try.
You take that shit to extreme highs,
And you be on that me-me-me shit.
And I could beat your ass in the parking lot
Just for telling me that I was fucking selfish.
And I don’t tell you shit because your ego trippin’,
and I know you stay sippin’ shit.

If we’re really counting, can’t afford to lose.
You’re the spark and napalm tied to all of your issues.
Now, I play by my own rules.
I play by my own rules.
I play by my own rules.

Revisionist high.
You only see through your eyes.
If it can’t read black and white,
Cast it aside for the night.
And I clean up the dust.
Rework the problems as us.
My pride encased in the mud.
Bitter blood, bitter blood.

Roll of the dice.
Some days nasty. Some days nice.
Need good vibes to keep me tight.
Need someone to treat me right.
