Risking it all on the chance of a loaded dice
 This ain't no game, you'll hear the voices cry
 Shattered dreams turn the page to another world
 
Riding on that thin white line again
 Just can't decide, reality or dream
 Living life on the edge of a heartbeat...
 
Get the message
 Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
 Street level justice
 Blackout, blackout
 
Bleeding you dry, convinced it's the only way
 Inch by inch, day by wasted day
 The pattern never ending, the outcome stays unchanged
 
City streets, they scream another name
 The white lady feeds it all the same
 It's in the blood, you're the loser once again
 
Get the message
 Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
 Street level justice
 Blackout
 
Stare into the mirror to try and take away the pain
 Try to see the truth with all things equal and fair
 But the haze now all too familiar exaggerates my thoughts
 Reality or dream, hard times and no excuse
 A small price to pay for the poison that eats away your valuable life
 
Inch by inch, day by day
 Blackout
 
Slowly but surely you ask yourself
 Is it all really worth the pain ?
 Continual path of self-destruction
 Living life on the edge of a heartbeat
 
Inch by inch, day by day
 Inch by inch, day by day
 Inch by inch, day by day
 
Get the message
 Don't play with fire, don't let the needle in
 Street level justice
 Blackout, blackout
 
The pattern is never ending, the outcome stays unchanged
 Corruption on every corner hides its face in the crowd
 Oppressive existence, no place to wear your heart on your sleeve
 Money talks and money can make you bleed
 
You're not immortal
 You can't escape, you're not the chosen one
 Don't play with fire
 
Blackout, blackout
