Easy Way Out

I hear a voice
From across a dead end street
It calls my name
But I'm feeling a little stifled by this heat
Don't ask me why
I've wound up a fixture in this place
It never fails
Always trip over my feet in a race

Armed with an attitude you know I popped the corner store
Cause it's fun when you have a little bit more
Things weren't quite right in the sky
Stumbled and fell the first time that

I put it all on that roulette wheel
In hindsight I realize that you just can't steal
An easy way out
The trust of a friend
Or another day

I feed the flames
With these decisions made in haste
As twilight slips
An angry look on a drunken face
I've lost my friends
Who don't seem to understand
Maybe they're right
But I ain't gonna bury my face in the sand

You know I ain't too thrilled about this second chance
Asked me to sit but I got up and danced
How can you win if you never try
Was my excuse the second time that

I put it all on that roulette wheel
In hindsight I realize that you just can't steal
An easy way out
The trust of a friend
Or another day

I feel the urge
But it's fading faster as I run
I'll find a way
Catch the first rays of the rising sun
I paid my debt
Sometimes it feels like I've broke my back
Stay away
Cause once I'm gone I ain't coming back

My blisters are broke and it ain't really clear
How things got so severe
And shadows of you that catch me in these lies
And make me regret the day that

I put it all on that roulette wheel
In hindsight I realize that you just can't steal
An easy way out
The trust of a friend
Or another day
