In my hand, I lay my fate
I lay it bold and blank
And for my hate, thats in my hand
I have this coin to thank
Heads for friends I wish I had
For tails did it fall
Heads for love and tails for hate
In tails my life shall stall
Heads for kindness, tails unknown
You make it as you go
And when it hits the ground, I think
Tails is death, I know
Heads for you, and tails for me
You call it in the air
Sideways equal suicides
But how would that be fair
Heads for what I wish I had
And tails to give away
Heads to keep your heart again
And tails to let it stray
Two sides to life and all my thoughts
That I could never think
That I could never choose, myself
And let the dead choice sink
I could never count on me
To determine my own fate
If fate is planned, unstopable
Then let this coin create
But long before I called my choice
And long before I died
There left a coin, upon my hand
And a teardrop down my eye
Long before I dropped my coin
From my blood soaked hands
There left a choice that I had chosen
And now I fully understand
I take you back to my last breath
And my last defiant thought
To what the coin has done to me
And what a choice has brought
I take you back unto my home
Cursed by these two sides
These heads, and tails, upon my hand
That mark this suicide

Sitting in my wooden bed
With the sickle sheets atop
Evacuate the reasoning
But bid this curse to stop
I layed my choice, for life and death
If it's right I live again
I'll call it in the air, and then
I'll catch my final friend
I'll read it off with trigger tight
An answer shall come soon
I'll lift my eyes, in disbelief
Nothing, this afternoon
I failed to call it in the air
I failed to make my choice
I'm left to my decisions
Ones that do not have a voice
Now the coin has hit the ground
And I left thought behind
I left my fate, to bid me truth
But my fate lay deaf and blind
A fickle thought had passed my mind
And without a double check
I pulled the trigger, pulled my life
Out of this cursed wreck
You always wanted me to see
Just what I could be
If I had made up my mind
And not let a coin control me
Actions speak much louder
Than a thought thats nevermore
Spinning, spinning, destiny
With a coin upon the floor
