lyrics

Make a bet with me
And I'll make a bet with you
A little guessing game
It's all worth the same in the end
We sat like gentle kings
The table stacked and drinks in hand
We have everything, we could, ever want

What the wager was
Death between cousins and the fate of all man
No restrictions made
The cards were dealt before we played
We never had a chance
Our time is spent arguing like little kids
Instead of thinking over everything we say
And when it ends
It all depends on selfishness
Eating up every drop of heart in the land
It's so insane to keep eating after you've bitten your plate

I'm coming home to see what my wager has won
You know it's always such a bitter thing to face
I get nauseous thinking about everyone I love, everyone I know
Lost in a grey tidal wave
Or a big ball of flame
And it's thoughts like these
That make me believe in something to count on
Something to count on, count on, count on, count on
I"m counting on this
Baby leave the lights on
