Make A Bet

Verse 1
I'm hanging around
I'm not putting down the state I'm in
I've never been proud
And now I'm allowed to shed my skin

I've rotted away
I know if I stay I'll sit and spin
Imagine the day
I'm drowning at bay, so reel me in

Pick up where I left off

Chorus 1
Let's make a bet
We'll make the bargain and call this truce
Let's make a bet
I have lost to win or lose with you

Verse 2
I see it all now
I'm taking my bow and everything
I'm scratching around
It's getting too loud
The space I'm in

So now I can leave
10 pieces at least, some evidence
The one that redeems
The other's disease like medicine

Pick up where I left off

Chorus 2 - on the last line, do not sing 'with you'

Bridge
Speaking in tongues
I can't get through
Thinking of running but,
I'm trying not to run ahead to you

Speaking in tongues
The way I do
I've found that you understand quite well
Cos that's no language too

Verse 3
I'm hanging around
I'm not putting down the state I'm in
In love with the sound
It's getting too loud...

Chorus 3
Let's make a bet
We'll make the bargain and call this truce
Let's make a bet
I have lost
Win or lose
Let's make a bet
I never wanted to call this truce
Let's make a bet
All is lost to win or lose with you
