lyrics

I have a semicolon blackened on my rib
For all the times I could have given up but never did
And I won’t
Betray the meaning of the ink
But the water’s looking nice this evening
I could go out for a swim and lie down for a dream
But I won’t
Cause my rib was hurting this morning

Don’t you give up on me just quite yet
I am still in this fight I have not forfeited
And I won’t
Tap out until I’m dead
Play with fate or play with luck
But roulette’s not as fun without a bullet and a gun
But I won’t
Throw my life to chase a rush

No I am nothing
No we are everything
No I am dying
No but I’m not dead
Not dead yet
