Russian Roulette

[verse one]
Give me all the numbness that I crave to survive,
and take away the emptiness that's engulfing my life.
Plagued myself with solitude
through blazing trails now destitute,
and I'm left satisfied yet terrified of you.

[bridge]
We've all got hearts of silver,
and our skin is bulletproof.
Tattooed cries, demoralized,
With a scent of 100 proof.

[chorus]
We put a gun to our veins
in this game of Russian roulette,
and leave grenades ticking loudly
in the beds where we soundly slept.
Visualize all the lies that we've told at our wake,
and of the lives we were dealt
that we just couldn't take.

[verse two]
Fill me with euphoria as I forget about the lies,
help me ease the cravings that are taking over my mind.
Blame myself for everything,
built this legacy that's severing,
now I'm paranoid and mystified by you.

[bridge]
We've all got hearts of gold;
they hold the secrets never told.
We're draped with sin
and hide addictions that we'll hold until we're old.

[chorus]
We put a gun to our veins
in this game of Russian roulette,
and leave grenades ticking loudly
in the beds where we soundly slept.
Visualize all the lies that we've told at our wake,
and of the lives we were dealt
that we just couldn't take.

[verse three / bridge three]
We've got hearts of silver,
while some have hearts of gold.
We don't rely on strangers,
and our choices can be bold.

We separate our feelings,
and we're closed off from our souls.
Our arms scar up like lepers;
our bodies melting over hot coals

[finale chorus]
we put a gun to our veins
in this game of Russian roulette,
and give our lives to a friend
that the devil has sent.
demoralize all our lives
and the dreams we have spent,
and all the promises we've told
that we never kept.
