Russian Roulette Is Our Safest Bet

This is a testament of time with a catchy little rhyme
A sign of all things that have come
The cracked dry wall calls with silence
It marks the final testing ground where I was found guilty
You sealed the deal with a kiss 

This is my greatest flaw
An appalling selection that you had your objections to  
My objectivity was to make you see what you do to me 
Was this all an illusion 
Was this fusion of hearts a mistake
So now we must walk the fire water lake 
Lets make this memorable 
A venerable battle of words
Let’s cut through the airwaves
Shall we proceed with this clash 
A punishment of a million lashes to the heart

So sweet sugar baby don’t you let me down 
I’m your loaded gun with a single round (Heart ache Bound)
Lets pound it out some more
Yeah we’re playing Russian roulette with a hair line trigger
I’m begging you to pull it 
We can’t fool it 
Just a bullet to our hearts

Leaving a stabbing pain the kind sustained in icy rain
You’ll be wearing these scars until you die as far as I can see
And I’ll be wearing this heart shaped bruise like a badge of honor
You’re my bombshell bomber
A heart throbber  
My pulse stopper 
A wraith with an exquisite taste 
For the one who amazed you 
The one who you blazed your name into

So sweet sugar baby don’t you let me down
Recall the love you once found 
A resounding hounding craving 
Who will be saving the mounting memories
I’m waiting for the final strike now 
Just bite down

Will this be endless sight 
I’m not quite sure what’s worse seeing you walk out the door
Crying together on the floor 
Swearing I’ll love you forevermore
I’m just not sure
Not sure of much any more
I don’t know who I’ve become 
I’ve hung your picture

This is my mixture of longing 
A dislodging and jogging of memories
So baby send me a card of loving word or blasphemy
Anything to let you know you remember me 
I hope you’re happy 
Found someone who supersedes 
So you no longer need me 
Like I know I need you 
No one can ever do me in like you 
And I can’t give away what isn’t mine anymore
It’s yours
