Russian Roulette, Won'T You Be My Friend?

Will you be my friend and take it all away? I want to forget all the things from my past. I want to breathe easily at last. Can you unlock this cage? Release me from my prison? Will you carry out my final decision? They poison my thoughts And destroy my brain It’s so much fun because it’s just a game The burning in my eyes. The growing clouds of darkness in my mind. This sinking feeling in my gut. They’ll all go away with you. Let me spin the dial And pull the lever. Will I win today? Will there be an empty click, as my stomach sickens by design? Will the game end with a bang? Only Fate can tell if I’ll win or lose. It’s not up to me, I’m letting Fate choose.
