familiar story - faith 777 - 13-11-2011

The spinning wheel sucks at the reason for life
The same wheel chants my name
A devil I chose over children and wife
I love it, despise it, this game

My lies to get out, the stories id tell
All oiled the greed in my head
The money I stole, the things I could sell
Morally, spiritually dead.

A sleepless night, losses I could chase
A months cash gambled, one day
The last chance door slammed into my face
And the ultimate price to pay

The eyes of a child, who’s future has gone
The eyes of a wife betrayed
The words on your lips that always go wrong
The debt that can never be paid.

So, nothing is left, the wheel has won
Is this life worth the sorrow
Wife’s walked out and children have gone
Maybe I’ll stop tomorrow
