A Great Reckoning Lyrics
I'll let the coin toss figure it out if that's alright
I can't be bothered with the affairs of the heart
When I'm trying to ruin my life
Place your money down to beat the spread
You give me more credit than you should ever invest
And if it's bad luck that suits us
Then I'm one of a kind
The king gets his aces cracked my good name's no good anymore
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
It's not necessity that kept you around of that I'm sure
Unless you need to keep falling apart then I'm your safest bet
We've been counting cards trying to win
I lost more dignity then I had to spend
And if it's bad luck that suits us
Then I'm one of a kind
The king gets his aces cracked my good name's no good anymore
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't miss it
You can't take me anywhere my good name's no good anymore
The king gets his aces cracked and I don't miss it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
The king gets his aces cracked my good name's no good anymore
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't miss it
You can't take me anywhere my good name's no good anymore
The king gets his aces cracked and I don't miss it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
Tonight I am ending the world
Tonight I am ending the world
Every night I am ending the world
This is my great reckoning
I can't be bothered with the affairs of the heart
When I'm trying to ruin my life
Place your money down to beat the spread
You give me more credit than you should ever invest
And if it's bad luck that suits us
Then I'm one of a kind
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
Unless you need to keep falling apart then I'm your safest bet
We've been counting cards trying to win
I lost more dignity then I had to spend
And if it's bad luck that suits us
Then I'm one of a kind
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't miss it
You can't take me anywhere my good name's no good anymore
The king gets his aces cracked and I don't miss it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
Awareness is leaving me but I don't miss is it, I don't miss it
You can't take me anywhere my good name's no good anymore
The king gets his aces cracked and I don't miss it, I don't know
I'm not wanted I reckon
I reckon, I reckon whoa
Tonight I am ending the world
Every night I am ending the world
This is my great reckoning

The feigns of the heart = affairs of the heart.
Wellness = awareness
and the ending: Tonight I am ending the world Tonight I am ending the world Every night I am ending the world This is my great reckoning
Otherwise Good job, amazing song.
I did it by ear, so I did the best i could, the end was the hardest.
Probably my favorite off the album, or blues having blues.
The card metaphors in the verses are brilliant.
