Ace’s Middle

Should I stop this, should I quit?
Should I stop this, should I quit?
Should I stop this, should I quit?
Should I stop this, should I quit?

Shuffling a deck where Ace’ middle
You’re probably asking “what is high?
What is low?” I don’t know

Who are all these other guys?
"Pick your card, sir"
Well I guess I might as well play, I’m here

How high is a nine when the aces are middle?
Still I drew the highest card uhhh
Middle-est? I don’t know

There’s a dude who’s crying
Yeah twos are pretty little
But actually a nine is little too

“Try your luck, ante up”
Should I play again?

“Limit’s high, feel alive”
Hit above a ten

“Never fold, swim in gold”
Pocket еvery cent

Hit me
I am on a rush
Gotta play but
Thе crowd is thinning out
The place is winding down
Please just one more round?

"Yes sir, bet sir!"

Just me
I’m left to bet against the house
Trying to feel something
The dealer must be having fun
She keeps smiling
Somebody cut me off

Nobody’s coming
Losing money and
Losing self esteem
Wins are meaningless
In a game where
Ace's middle
Can you really win
Or just lose a bit less?

Mind is numb
Two frames down...

Run
You’re done
The sun is down
You shouldn't still be playing

Fine I’ll play again
Are ace’s still middle?

"YEAH!"

My disposition’s flattening
Saddening, lowering

Cheerfulness is sobering
“Pick your card sir”
Wow it’s just another stupid king

I wanna punch the dealer but I haven’t got the mettle
A demon with a killer kiss
Total bliss, loving this

Get an ace, I lose and yet
I keep playing
What is going on in my head?

Riffles sound like blessed serenades
Bent on dealing a plastic symphony
Numbers, suits, and faces
None of them enough for me
Not even aces

Though I’m having fun... wait
I’m not having any fun
This symphony’s
Killing me slow
There’s no point in playing
When every card is low
So I think I’ll stop here

"What u gonna quit?"
No I can’t
"Stay and play a bit"
No I can’t

Though it’s tempting I will admit, it’s
Time to cut my losses cash my chips and split

“Try your luck ante up”
“Limit’s high, feel alive”
“Raise don’t fold, swim in gold”

Losing money and
Losing self esteem
Wins are meaningless
In a game where
Ace's middle
Can you really win
Or just lose a bit less?

I want to go
Please let me go

Catch my breath
The sun is rising
Scene is brimming with depth

Back to basic
Standard living
Normal nothings
Ordinary pastimes

So much hope
Bathe in newness
Who could gallantly do this and
Shake this fake cliche

I cry
I sigh
Goodbye
The ace is finally high
Alive
‘Cos I
Applied myself and
Untied
My mind
Defied a poisoned
Lie!

That’s not the end
That’s wishful thinking man
I don’t I don’t know
Know how to stop this
Bleeding habit

I don’t know
I don’t I don’t I don’t know
I don’t I don’t I don’t know
I don’t I know
I don’t I don’t I don’t know

Try your luck!
Ante up!

Play another game
I guess I’ll have to
Play another game
My fate is to settle
For living in the middle
What else could I hope for
This is my life

Play another game
Play another game
Play another game
Play another game
