I am a soliloquy without an audience,
Spoken by an unknown actor.
There will be no top billing
I am the runner-up,
Acting these scenes in my head.
But the spotlight burns my eyes,
So I pull the curtain for the star
For this opera of one.
If words can be a weapon,
Then you're the bullet to my gun
And it cannot fire without one.
And If pictures are worth a thosand words
Then what does this painting say,
of a king of hearts buried by a spade?
I'm a winning hand with no chips to bet
Well I'm all in,
Going to drown on the river.
And If I buy back in -
double or nothing -
I'll lose to a full house,
Because I'm never even dealt a pair.
In this game of one.
And if the truth can hurt
You'd better grab a wheelchair
Because you won't be able walk.
And If it's true, what goes, comes
When I'm handed back my heart
I'll need a defribulator for it to start.
I'm willing to fight, to fight and die
For freedom and a little piece of mind.
But it's impossible to fight the war
Grasping a heavy but empty gun.
Spoken by an unknown actor.
There will be no top billing
I am the runner-up,
Acting these scenes in my head.
But the spotlight burns my eyes,
So I pull the curtain for the star
For this opera of one.

And it cannot fire without one.
And If pictures are worth a thosand words
