"Life's Hand"

Lifetimes all crammed into one single year

new life, funerals, loss, and betrayal, down came tears

but Id be a fool at this point to have any fears

To feel reality's touch and hear fantasy's scream

some will never know the difference today it seems

both have restrictions and most are torn between

a queen stabs a king in his back for his gold

but the queens a jack, you cant see the bluff and everything folds

left broke and depressed, but with new eyes and a new soul.

the cards play themselves and sometimes they're up sleeves

some are silent and still undealt, just waiting to be seen

but eventually the dealer will deal and you'll hope its only a bad dream

remember what makes you float must always crash down

I learned it the tough way, some are still learning it now

only time can tell the whos, the whys, and the hows

but time is on my side and beside that I'm by myself

ambition in eyes, experience in mind, and nature of karma for help

in the end ill still be standing tall, 'cause nothing compares to my Hell...
