Out on Wax Bodega: lnk.to/Pacific-CP

lyrics

I hate gambling
but I was handed a full house
the swords on the cards sliced open my palms and all I could do was
bleed on the money I’d won

and everyone was confused
didn’t know why I was blue
couldn’t show them my wounds
had to bluff after the game
knowing it wasn’t the same
I put a smile on my face

cause I looked like I owned the ocean
after twenty years of staring at the sea and
all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
and how I wished that it would bury me
and how the speed of light is far too fast to
barrel into a tidal wave, last night I cried enough
to make the Pacific blush now hear me say

I hate gambling
but I was handed a full house
lost an ace in the deck
don’t know how I’ll get around this

and everyone was confused
didn’t know why I was blue
couldn’t show them my wounds
had to bluff after the game
knowing it wasn’t the same
I put a smile on my face

cause I looked like I owned the ocean
after twenty years of staring at the sea and
all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
and how I wished that it would bury me
and how the speed of light is far too fast to
barrel into a tidal wave, last night I cried enough
to make the Pacific blush now hear me say

I’m sorry x8

cause I looked like I owned the ocean
after twenty years of staring at the sea and
all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
and how I wished that it would bury me
and how the speed of light is far too fast to
barrel into a tidal wave, last night I cried enough
to make the Pacific blush now hear me say

I’m sorry x4
