about

This songs speaks to the repeated rising and falling we all do as we live our lives. Sometimes we gamble and chase things that are not worth it in the end. Sometimes the worth is in the experience we get from gambling and chasing.

lyrics

(hook)
black dot dice
black dot pupil
black dot eyes
black dot domino

all come tumblin
i said they all come tumblin down
push one and they all come tumblin down
i said they all come tumblin down

(v.1)
they say god is gambler
but he dont really play games
the devil is a scrambler
if it itches he can scratch for days

thats right keep on clawin
rats in the race and we keep on gnawin
a little bitta cheese and we cant ignore it
in fact if we got to we act ignorant
bite our own tails off if we get trapped
pour in some chemicals if we get naps
tales from burbs all the way to the trap
pour in some chemicals so we dont take a nap
it goes both ways
like a tail gettin eatin by its own snake
for goodness sake
latch key birds empty nest empty plates
empty homes empty hearts
empty out our brains
sang it

(hook)

(v.2)
they say god is a joker
laughs at his own mistakes
the devil is a roaster
burnem all at the stake

and we got fire in our eyes
like every desires a burning decision decide
between a couple choice thats been yearning inside
what we learn from experience we toss it aside
black berry de-ssert
maybe devils pie
black berry sext message
black berry dice
putt'em in the palm
and we roll it once or twice
i once was a pawn
now im found like night

and this tables reserved for the knights
life is fulla full moons hopefully i die
with a smile and a eye
fulla glorious blessings kiss my baby goodbye
sang it

(hook)
