a cruel game i was forced to play six chambers, one bullet and a smile like satin ribbons don't be afraid, they said, cocking the gun just pull the trigger if you're lucky you'll see into the truth i guess i got lucky a flash of light an image burns itself into my retinas seven other voices i don't recognize speaking in otherwordly tongues i suddenly understand the world is slowly unraveling but i'm still standing i emptied the gun myself i loaded every chamber with something they feared more than death i can't hear them anymore but i know those seven voices are waiting for me in the in-between i have to find them
