Double Down

Greasy summer sweat is sticking to my brow
Windows down but I still smell the stench of failure here somehow

All I do is wait
And hope the memory of all those things you meant to me will fade

I can pass the time away
Feel the memories decay
Hope it doesn't stay so rotten and vague

I can't stand here while you double down
Rolling dice on things you should have left by now
I can't stand here while you double down
You hurt yourself but you will kill me if I dare to stick around

Wind and rain can pierce the veil you disavow
I'm back to the cave to brave the stale that keeps you safe and keeps you down

All you give is pain
Desperate feelings of alarm that I can make you feel this way

I can pass the time away
Watch the memories decay
While I see you spinning lost and deranged

I can't stand here while you double down
Rolling dice on things you should have left by now
I can't stand here while you double down
You hurt yourself but you will kill me if I dare to stick around
