Nothing Left To Lose
Ignite the fuse
As I've nothing left to lose
My last gambit is a thriller
With the eyes of a killer
My verse is written in your heart
I pull at the strings and it falls apart
Our love will disappear
My lovely darling dear
With the gall of a Caesar
I was never much of an appeaser
Feel free to call me a charlatan
But I prefer asinine artisan
I gave this passion my all
Now I light the fire to watch it fall
In a final burning blaze
This is my last chance to dispraise
Maybe, just maybe, I'm not okay
My sorrow is the last thing my eyes could betray
Everything changes at the drop of a dime
Unfortunately I've run out of time
If I could only say how I felt
Such beautifully spoken words to make the heart melt
I wonder if the world would even care
Or would they simply stare
I'm a tragedy away from a meltdown
But these walls guarantee it will be without sound
By the time anyone knows
I'll be gone I do suppose
Ignite the fuse
One last time light my muse
I have nothing left to lose
When happiness is just a ruse
