I’ve forgotten all I’ve learned

and I’ve spent all that I’ve earned

Still I’m running in this race

'Cause the only thing that scares me is the thought of second place

 

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

​

It’s a wonder I’m alive

After all the ways you’ve shown me how to die

Beg your pardon if I gloat

But look at all the things I’ve done despite your foot upon my throat

 

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

 

What can I do?

When every hand you’re dealing is the same?

What can I do?

I'd rather quit the player than the game

And I’m not crazy

Baby it’s the world that’s gone insane

There’s too much echo in the chamber dear

Too many voices in my brain

 

Take a moment, take a bow

Take a look at all the shit you’ve ruined now

It doesn’t matter, it’s No big deal

Life is simple when you’re seated at the center of the wheel

 

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

I feel like this wheel might

stop and throw me off

 

This wheel just keeps spinning

The damn thing just keeps spinning

Round and round and round

This wheel just keeps spinning

Come on and get your sin in
