Sometimes I understand and can reason as to why
Sometimes I pretend everything is alright
Sometimes I want to be able to break down and cry
Sometimes when I escape it is all in the night
Sometimes all I do is set repeat bet and play
Sometimes I think this relaxes my mind
Sometimes the demons are temporarliy kept at bay
Sometimes it makes things worse is the reality I find
Sometimes is most of the time if I am truthful today
If most of the time was just sometimes,
Then prehaps I could just not play
