Every card's a new beginning if I play it right;
Every gamble can be won with the right dice.
Lady Luck, I don't care for you anymore;
Don't let Ambition hit you on the way out of my door.

Don't try to pry inside of my lease
On this, my only life – I'll do whatever I please.
Don't try to tell me how to say my own name.
I never really liked you anyway.

Every word becomes a lie if I say it right;
Every truth can be skewered under the right light.
Oh prescriptions, I can't take you anymore;
By days' end, you always make me sicker than I was before.

Don't try to pry inside of my lease
On this, my only life – I'll do whatever I please.
Don't try to tell me how to say my own name.
I never really liked you anyway.

You may have made me hollow,
But you're not deep enough for me to wallow.
An ugly wound is what you are,
But you'll disappear, just like every other scar.

Don't try to pry inside of my lease
On this, my only life – I'll do whatever I please.
Don't try to tell me how to say my own name.
I never really liked you anyway.
I'm not giving the meaning away upfront.
