Dealer of Lies

Verse 1:

Shadows on the neon walls,

Cards fall like I’m bound to crawl.

Pocket full of promises, burning my mind,

Every bet I chase, leaves me blind.

Pre-Chorus:

I tell myself it’s just one more roll,

But the wheel spins fast, it swallows my soul.

Chorus:

Dealer of lies, I can’t run from your eyes,

Pull me under, tell me truths I despise.

Counting chips while my heart slowly dies,

I’m screaming at myself, through a veil of disguise.

Verse 2:

Mirrors crack with the face I hate,

Borrowed time, borrowed fate.

Every lie I spit, it’s a chain on my hands,

I’m a stranger in my own lands.

Pre-Chorus:

I tell myself it’s just one more roll,

But the wheel spins fast, it swallows my soul.

Chorus:

Dealer of lies, I can’t run from your eyes,

Pull me under, tell me truths I despise.

Counting chips while my heart slowly dies,

I’m screaming at myself, through a veil of disguise.

Bridge (Grunge Feel – Dirty Guitar Riff):

Shout it out, break the silence, break the cage,

The cards are burning but I’m writing my rage.

No more whispers, no more alibis,

I’m clawing back from a world built on lies.

Chorus (Repeat, with extra grit):

Dealer of lies, I can’t run from your eyes,

Pull me under, tell me truths I despise.

Counting chips while my heart slowly dies,

I’m screaming at myself, through a veil of disguise.

Outro (Raw, Slow Fade):

The wheel stops…

I breathe, I break…

The lies fade…

But the scars stay.
