Gambit - Murder Inc.

Wake up — black side of night

Just in time for sacrifice

Bent double in my hand

Face to face with another man

Who am I to judge you?

I just want to get through to you?

Overstepping the margin

Just another diversion

In the mirror I can see

Coming up behind me

Threats we buried weeks ago

How was I to know?

Ain’t that the truth though?

I’m loud enough to drown you out

Try acting like a hero

Come across in your own self doubt

You seem to think that I’m shameless

Apparent in your rage and hate

I didn’t walk away blameless

Inconsequential, tragic and late

It couldn’t wait forever

The murder of trust

I’ll live with it forever

As it rots in the dust…

Looks like the gambit is here

The torrential terminus

And everything that I knew I’d fear

Stuck between the two of us

I see us both from the outside

We walk in circles unresolved

I’ll take a hammer to midnight

Until the feeling’s dissolved…

Looks like the gambit is here
