playing cards with a nihilist lyrics
[verse 1]
he said: “give up if it’s not going your way
give up, boy, you don’t have to play
it isn’t, but time is running short
it’ll all go like it did before”

[verse 2]
“everything worth saying has been
everything worth doing has been done
a problem shared is a problem squared
don’t plan ahead, son, you won’t get there”

[chorus 1]
sunk costs and sinking ships
i’m playing cards with a nihilist
(oh yeah)
a four of fours and he yells “go fish!”
the ace of spades falling from his fist
(oh yeah)
slipping through life’s sleight of hand
i’m swimming with no sight of land
he stumbles as he tries to stand
colliding with a baby grand
(oh no…)

[verse 3]
one day you’ll smile for the very last time
and maybe not realise
he said he liked to be in control
took his frown, left behind his soul
[verse 4]
“would you turn the corner if you could see ‘round the bend?”
never rests his eyes: “i’ll sleep when i’m dead”
it’s always darkest before the dawn
“but even stars burn out in the end”

[chorus 2]
sunk costs and sinking ships
i’m playing cards with a nihilist
(oh yeah)
the flop came down and he rolled a six
i’m never really sure if i should stick or twist
(oh…)
slipping through life’s sleight of hand
we’re swimming with no sight of land
he said i had the upper hand
i told him i don’t understand
“i don’t understand?”

[bridge]
understand (x2)
now? (x4)

[chorus 3]
sunk costs and sinking ships
i’m playing cards with a nihilist
(oh yeah)
a twitch in his eye that i almost miss
his luck runs dry and i win his chips
(oh yeah)
slipping through life’s sleight of hand
he’s swimming with no sight of land
the sh_ll of what once was a man
i thought he had a masterplan
[outro]
i think he let me win (x3)
he let me win
