i could tell you were a gambler, the way you held me to your chest
all my secrets and my treasures were a bluff you’d try to test
and you know risks make me uneasy, unlike the high you seem to get
from falling for a troubled girl or shaking on a bet
all my demons at the table
always keep me in the dark
they never fold, it seems they’re able
to see what’s in the cards
there was a psychic in my neighborhood, tried to tell my fortune as a child
and as i watched her face turn pale, she slipped a card back in the pile
years have left me since that telling, seems i still crane my neck to see
if it’s true i’ve made my fortune or it's my fortune that's made me
all my demons at the table
always keep me in the dark
they never fold, it seems they’re able
to see what’s in the cards
