Roll on 4's

The jury's out to lunch
and soaking up the sun
While they deliberate a cause
They're aware of effect
and the potential you neglect
Caught up in the thrills you love.

You can catch your flight or face
Every surface you defaced
like a fuckin vandal
Or you can live your life benign
Waiting for malignancy to strike.

Either way you fear it,
the uncertainty of words.

Cuz I laugh 'til I can't laugh no more
Til my sides split and my next words are hoarse.
I'm overboard.

Like a candle in the wind
This circumstance is grim
if you think you can change it.
Life dictates what we are
Predicts what's your next bet
and that you'll roll on four.

Either way you fear it,
that voice that will not agree.

Cuz I laugh 'til I don't laugh once more
Til my sides break and you cannot retort.
And I will not be wearing my sleeves thin
Where I'm vulnerable and self defence is sin.

And these words will
flow from my tongue like spit
Didn't I mention
I am armed to destroy,
Destroy, deploy it.
My voice just will not agree.
