HEADS YOU WIN,TAILS I LOSE
(T. Beechey)
Heads you win,tails I lose
I'm back where I've been: lost and confused
Stranded,abandoned and sent away
The coin has landed once more your way
I gave it a shot and tried my best
But I guess I was not meant to progress
All that I did and all that it meant
Was forgotten and hid with mindless intent
You took my dream,shook it awake
Made everything seem senseless and fake
With just a word,each hope I had
Was rendered absurd,pointless,and bad
Tails you win,heads I lose
I don't know if I can recapture the muse
Stranded,abandoned and forced to leave
The coin has landed once more ill-conceived
Heads you win,tails I lose
I'm odd man again but it's hardly news
Stranded,abandoned and cast aside
The coin has landed once more on your side
You spun the wheel,I came up short
I made the deal,you sought to thwart
Each answer's a question,each question foretells
An unspoken lesson from where nothing dwells
What was the point? You knew from the start
I thought you'd anoint the whims of my heart
Instead,here I am facing who knows
My existence a sham even as your smile grows
Tails you win,heads I lose
Even before I begin,I've nothing to choose
Stranded,abandoned and left behind
The coin has landed once more so unkind
