Gambit

Wake up - black side of night, Just in time for sacrifice, Bent double in my hand, Face to face with another man, Who am I to judge you? I just want to get through to you? Overstepping the margin, Just another diversion. In the mirror I can see, Coming up behind me Threats we buried weeks ago, How was I to know? Ain't that the truth though? I'm loud enough to drown you out, Try acting like a hero, Come across in your own self doubt. You seem to think that I'm shameless Apparent in your rage and hate, I didn't walk away blameless, Inconsequential, tragic and late. It couldn't wait forever, The murder of trust, I'll live with it forever, As it rots in the dust... Looks like the gambit is here The torrential terminus, And everything that I knew I'd fear, Stuck between the two of us. I see us both from the outside, We walk in circles unresolved, I'll take a hammer to midnight Until the feeling's dissolved... Looks like the gambit is here.
