Subliminal Spectrum - Maverick Lyrics

Ligero lingering on linen lips
Through whiskey sips
I've got a fine grip
But tend to let my mind drift
Open a time rift
Slip space now
Ace of spades on the table
Lying face down
Royal straight flush
Ace high
Maverick shit
Put my cards on the table
You can have the chips
Sending diplomatic cables out to average chicks
Joes and so so's to rise up like Lazarus
You got a lot of life ahead
You got a lot to live
Up from the bed or the dead
Got a lot to give
Shit can get f*cky, but stay positive
Sometimes you'll get lucky, alt the opposite
But all in all the highs they rise above the fall
Good outweighs the bad
Life outweighs it all
Ten, Jack, Queen, King laced in all spades
With four of clubs, put on your poker face

Hand ain't great
But the weight carries lighter when I smile
At least for a while
You can call my bluff
But love hold me up another round
Lay 'em down

House always wins, slanted odds in their favor
We ain't playing the game
Game is playing the player
Player playing the pauper
Pauper playing the savior
And I've been watching but I still can't explain the behavior
It's treacherous, skirt the curb, feeling wreck-a-less
Reminisce on some bourbon with a lemon twist
Or when we're kids in the burbs being menaces
Witnesses diminished as we split across the picket fence
For recompense, I recommend, record cleansed
The record clinched, I reconcile, represent
But ever since, I've wrestled with malevolence
I've wrestled with the angel and I've wrestled with the devil, it's
Hard to breathe, hard to believe, it ain't fair
Head in hands, where's my mans, but he ain't there
Heavy hand, and I stare at the flames glare
Choking on the smoke, a bluffers hope, I hold a ace pair

Hand ain't great
But the weight carries lighter when I smile
At least for a while
You can call my bluff
But love hold me up another round
Lay 'em down
