Mid-Summer - Los Angeles, CA, 2008 - J. Waggle

Russian roulette

  1. Love cannot be a game of Russian roulette
  2. Life isn't a collection of toil and sweat
  3. The world will wait for me to make my mark
  4. The truth is we're all here in the dark
  5. Little survives of the past in the present
  6. But our pristine wounds hide in the remnants
  7. Like the eye of a hurricane at the end of a storm
  8. Torn asunder and twisted as it was borne
  9. I click my heels three times on the ground
  10. A gun goes off without making a sound
  11. I used to think this life was rare
  12. Now I'm sitting across from you and there's smoke in the air.
