Jacob Earl - Wasteland Lyrics

Play your cards right
You might get out alive
What?! No that doesn't happen
We all die

The game is always rigged
With hasty, weak decisions
You hear the wire snap
And you tell the lie

I hate myself
As much as anyone else
Not playing any favourites
And maybe just as well

I love myself today
The reason escapes me
I ate something tasty
Or encountered a nice smell

Relationships
Of ratios to frequencies
Cards and slips
Inked out in indecencies

It's a waste of course
I couldn't see
The evidence I placed
Right in front of me

Play your cards right
You might get out alive
What?! No that doesn't happen
We all die

The game is always rigged
With hasty, weak decisions
You hear the wire snap
And you tell a lie

I spoke to God today
He said: do crimes, be gay
I swear to God he said
Be Queer until yr dead

I hugged God today
He had a comfort grip
Like the sharpest tool
In yr shed

You'll love yourself more
Every day you grow
'til it eclipses the pain
You buried long ago

I can't say how long it takes
I'm still a dry lake
You've got the guts to give it
A mighty blow

Play your cards right
You might get out alive
What?! No that doesn't happen
We all die

The game is always rigged
With hasty, weak decisions
You hear the wire snap
And you tell a lie

I crave a new thing
A waste that has no name
It eludes me all the same

It's just a game
