[Verse 1] Wake up Same cracked ceiling Same bad joke On repeat Phone light Burns my eyelids Scroll my friends Like old receipts Mom calls Says she’s worried I say "fine" Then grind my teeth Life’s a joker Stacked deck Cold shoulder Pull my card It laughs at me [Chorus] Life’s a joker Card up its sleeve Every time I think I’m winning It’s already leaving me Life’s a joker Laugh in my face But I keep betting on the feeling That I might still change my fate (yeah, yeah) I might still change my fate [Verse 2] Lost touch With that mirror Who’s that kid Behind my eyes Black hoodie Same old story Hope on layaway Dreams on ice Friends fade Like a bad tattoo All these names I overwrite Life’s a joker Crooked dealer Says "all in" Then cuts the lights [Chorus] Life’s a joker Card up its sleeve Every time I think I’m winning It’s already leaving me Life’s a joker Laugh in my face But I keep betting on the feeling That I might still change my fate (change my fate) (oh-oh) [Verse 3 – Russian Female] Я смотрю В эти трещины стен Твой немой Черно-белый плен Ты играешь В их правила Да Но козырь Спрятан в руках Каждый шрам Это штрих по душе Ты живой Ты еще на шоссе Жизнь смеётся Но слышишь Брат Ей так страшно Когда мы встаём назад [Chorus – Both] Life’s a joker Card up its sleeve (карта в руке) Every time I think I’m winning It’s already leaving me Life’s a joker Laugh in my face (смейся сильней) But I keep betting on the feeling That I might still change my fate [Bridge – Switch / Call & Response] [Male] If it’s all one big prank [Female] Так сыграй до конца [Male] If my heart’s just a bank [Female] Забери у страха ключи Не сломаться [Male] If I’m one bad hand [Female] Ты ведь больше Чем риск [Male] Will you still hold my shake [Female] Я в твоих же глазах вижу выход из низких низ [Chorus – Final Both] Life’s a joker Card up its sleeve But tonight I’m done with running Let it take its swing at me Life’s a joker Laugh in my face I keep betting on this moment Where I finally call its bluff and stay (yeah, I stay) (я с тобой) Life’s a joker But I still play

Moody emo-trap duet: male vocals start over sparse electric guitar and soft pads, close and confessional. Russian female vocal enters with a darker, floating verse, then they trade lines. Drums bloom in the first chorus with deep sub, snappy hats, and distant piano. Second half adds distorted backing stacks, call-and-response ad‑libs, and a final drop to just guitar and layered harmonies., deep, emo
