Russian Roulette

[TearyEied]

looks like its time to play
a little Russian roulette,
don’t pause,
don’t sweat.
spin the barrel like my mind has been spun
hold me now,
while I hold this gun,
click it once,
twice for good measure,
and don’t try to stop me,
I consider dying a pleasure.

Take it a little further,
pass it around,
wait and watch til someone, scared like you
hits the ground.
Don’t stop, the games not over,
pass it again,
pass it to another,
my turn,
one down,
me to go.

click, wait, click, wait
gettin lucky I am, but not for long,
now my chance is 6/8
Add another bullet,
spice it up,
spin, click,
spin, click, spin
Good game that was...
Maybe next time,
it’ll turn out how I want it to.
Click.

Wow. Scarily dark work here Teary. And it feels larger than just a literal meaning - it seems almost to be speaking about any kind of inordinately risky situation. Intriguing.
