Out of Your Hands

I used to bet on the wicked
The wretched and sick
In the crowd

One spin
Of the wheel let me win
I gave up on waiting around

How long could I bask in denial?
The weight of my doubt
Left me stranded

All of the bleeding words
Spilling out of your head
All of the bitterness
Thought that you never had
It's only a little while
Til it’s out of your hands

I heard the shake, I deserved it
A quake under ground
Where I lived

I tossed and turned like a fire
A restless
And meaningless fit

Tied down, so used to defeat
The heat of the end
Let me out

[Chorus]

I played it close I’m sure
Only to leave my ghost at the door
Time is a friend of yours
And will be there
Even more than you know

[Chorus repeat]
