Stage Fright

Wager

Verse 1

If life is cruel, and I'm not cool
Then the Joker is just a game of fool
So flip the cards and gamble on
With life and death you can't go wrong

Verse 2

If I'm alive and all I hear
Are the sounds and thoughts of panic and fear
Then the stakes are high
As my life I could lose
But now it's time for me to choose

Prechorus

Living is nothing compared to the truth
Everything gets worse and worse after youth
And time will tell if you can be free
But if it does not then just wager with me

Chorus

I take my hand
And I flip the coin
Is it heads or tails? What is the point?
As I wager it all
The life that I have lived
I look at all the people and hope that they can forgive (me)

Verse 3

The sins I committed, the worst that I done
If I don't repent then I won't see the sun
But I can't panic now
I can't lose my strength
If I sweat or I tumble it could be the end

Verse 4

The feelings inside
The pain that I hide
It overcomes me when my mind is subside
But everything comes back
The gamble I gave
And hopefully I don't end up in a grave

Chorus

I take my hand
And I flip the coin
Is it heads or tails? What is the point?
As I wager it all
The life that I have lived
I look at all the people and hope that they can forgive (me)

Bridge

So I take a deep breath
And I pick up the gun
With only one bullet loaded, the cartridge is spun
I point it at my head
And I wait for a minute
And when I pull the trigger I hear the sound of my spirit

Chorus

I take my hand
And I flip the coin
Is it heads or tails? What is the point?
As I wager it all
The life that I have lived
I look at all the people and hope that they can forgive

Outro

I took my hand
And I flipped the coin
It wasn't heads or tails, what was the point?
I wagered it all
And I lost my life
I look past all the people and I see the light
