My mind is like an orchard
Clustered in frozen portraits
Of blossoms that bloomed so fine
Just to drop from the vine
I've seen 'em all tonight

Could keep it silent and tortured
Or shove it unto the floorboards
A rusty heart starts to whine
In its tell tale time
So free it up tonight

Life deals a measly portion
Light on good friends and fortune
It's chipped you away inside
And drawn all your blinds
Concealed it all from sight

Could cut that final corner
Charge the void no quarter
Or skip to the final line of some
Suicide note well publicized
Or give it up tonight

Kindly reverse the order
Of the options you've laid before you
The needle, the dirty spoon
The flames and the fumes
Just throw them out tonight

The time that you've been afforded
May go unsung unrewarded
Some nameless you cannot know
May be coming to show you
Unbridled love and light

Should you grow in an orchard
Covered in dusty portraits
Of blossoms that bloomed so fine
Just to drop from the vine
Oh, listen up tonight

Don't keep it silent and tortured
Or shove it unto the floorboards
Your busted heart will be fine
In its tell tale time
So give it up tonight

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

There's a place in the world
For a gambler
There's a burden that only
He can bear
There's a place in the world
For a gambler

...

There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness
There's a calm at the eye
Of every storm
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness

Let it shine
Oh, let it shine
Let it shine
Oh, let it shine
Let it shine
Oh, let it shine

Let it shine

Not the most poetic of people haha but to me this song is about taking risks on the good winning somehow, taking gambles that good triumphs and letting yourself be vulnerable out of faith. I've always had a fools faith, a gamblers sort of mentality about God, Jesus and about what is possible for humans. I'm in some ways oddly conservative while being the biggest gambler, always jumping out with faith that somehow the odds will work out. Gamblers are fools, they gamble despite really the odds haha ... for me, I gamble on people and get burned a decent amount of the time but all gamblers need to gamble so I just have to go back to gambling again that there's good possible in everyone haha.
