Gather Your Strength

So fucking easy to be bought and sold
The meek are liars, the thieves are bold
I've kicked some down to watch myself arise
But I'm not gonna apologize
Broken bottles speak to broken dreams
They reek of my wasted memories
There's something there, can't put my finger on
It's dark and black, it's dead and gone
Maybe I'm down to the felt while you're hedging your bets
Maybe it's time you cashed out, but I'm not over yet
So now you gotta hike up big-boy pants
Flower the wall or dive into the dance
Lace up your boots and get your coiffure combed
It's at the point you go big or you go home
It's not the cards you're dealt make up your hand
It's when you realize to take a stand
Means not caring just what's wrong or right
So long as you think it's still worth the fight
Maybe I'm down to the felt while you're hedging your bets
Maybe it's time you cashed out, but I'm not over yet
Well, if memory serves
Mere bullets didn't stick my nerve, no
By the joint consent of a
Glorious youth misspent, ow
So now it comes down to
What's nothing, me and you
Maybe it's time to go to all those lengths
Maybe this time, gotta gather your strength
Now listen
Maybe it's fact our time has come and gone
Maybe you jumped while I've been hangin' on
Maybe, yeah, it's true
Maybe your voice still ringing through my head
Maybe you don't mean all the words you've said
Maybe, well, I do
Maybe, I said maybe
