Whatever, this was dumb anyway

Always messing up
When I feel so upset
Going all in way too hard
To lose another stupid bet

Losing all my hard earned money
Yet again I am robbed blind
At this point it’s all quite funny
I have no more strength to mind

Bet it all on my bad choices
I will give in to my voices
I’ll sit back and have a seat
Close my eyes and kick my feet

I have no more need to care
When the game’s not even fair

I quit
I’m done with the bit
The skit 
I give you my spit

Let go of the wheel cause I’m throwing in the towel
Here’s my gun and badge put away cement and trowel
I am done with trying to build up another wall
I will just let it crumble quick and I will let it fall

Oh, bawl
And all in all
And oh I know I do appall 
I guess that I just have the gall

I guess that I have the nerve
Oh well it’s what I do deserve

And I have lost the need to feel
With all the stakes no longer real
And no more prices to the deal
And really it is quite a steal

The weight of living off my shoulders
Cause I have given up the boulder

I will let the car rear end
Turning right on through the bend
Cut the wire to the lift
Tumbling over the cliff

I will let myself get hurt
I will get my just dessert

I have thrown the bat away
No more trying, not today
