lyrics

Don’t you see the signs?
There’s nothing between the lines
Perhaps it’s better if you don’t find
If you don’t find out

There was a point that the balance tipped
A slow tilting coming over it
Without a sound, the circuits tripped
Applying wisdom to a game of chance
You held experience in disregard
But this time you just might be in luck
Why don’t you pick another card?

But didn’t you see the signs?
What if there’s nothing between the lines?
Perhaps it’s better if you don’t find
what you always want to find

This one’s a sure thing
I’m going all in

I know it’s mine this time
I can feel it down the line
I know it’s mine this time
I can feel it

This one’s mine
Think I’m in luck this time

I think I see the trick
This time I’m going to win

It’s not so easy to make your escape
When shattered glass still reflects your face
You played your part, so take your place

A message flashing on every screen
Distracting you from the periphery
You made your choice and we will see
Exactly what we want to see

Vai ficar a ver navios

Think I’m in luck this time
