[Verse]
The mEmorals of life and the perils of death
Take the wrong way out running Cout of brDeath
EmMeet my match in the afterlife
Suppress the demons that plCague the nDight
A Emtortured mind is a safe place to go
But the truth lurks down in the dCark belDow
EmStep inside my inquisitive mind
Are you scared at what you jCust might fDind

[Verse]
EmSee myself in the hall of mirrors
A different shape every stCep I tDake
A Emdifferent mind every step of the line
But in the end they Care all mDine
EmLaughing sorrow inside your head
Can’t get out just a fCeeling of drDead
I kEmnow this burden's a heavy load
A dark mistake never Cending rDoad

Em The black jack king and the red queen clash
The artful dodger he cCounts his stDash

While madame fortune she wCaits insDide

The clock is struck the hCorse is lDame
Em And when we think that this is done
Chance your luck a fCour leafed Done

Em Between good and bad
And cast the luck be hCappy sDad
