Russian Roulette Is Our Safest Bet

This is a testament of time with a catchy little rhyme A sign of all things that have come The cracked dry wall calls with silence It marks the final testing ground where I was found guilty You sealed the deal with a kiss This is my greatest flaw An appalling selection that you had your objections to My objectivity was to make you see what you do to me Was this all an illusion Was this fusion of hearts a mistake So now we must walk the fire water lake Lets make this memorable A venerable battle of words Let’s cut through the airwaves Shall we proceed with this clash A punishment of a million lashes to the heart So sweet sugar baby don’t you let me down I’m your loaded gun with a single round (Heart ache Bound) Lets pound it out some more Yeah we’re playing Russian roulette with a hair line trigger I’m begging you to pull it We can’t fool it Just a bullet to our hearts Leaving a stabbing pain the kind sustained in icy rain You’ll be wearing these scars until you die as far as I can see And I’ll be wearing this heart shaped bruise like a badge of honor You’re my bombshell bomber A heart throbber My pulse stopper A wraith with an exquisite taste For the one who amazed you The one who you blazed your name into So sweet sugar baby don’t you let me down Recall the love you once found A resounding hounding craving Who will be saving the mounting memories I’m waiting for the final strike now Just bite down Will this be endless sight I’m not quite sure what’s worse seeing you walk out the door Crying together on the floor Swearing I’ll love you forevermore I’m just not sure Not sure of much any more I don’t know who I’ve become I’ve hung your picture This is my mixture of longing A dislodging and jogging of memories So baby send me a card of loving word or blasphemy Anything to let you know you remember me I hope you’re happy Found someone who supersedes So you no longer need me Like I know I need you No one can ever do me in like you And I can’t give away what isn’t mine anymore It’s yours
