Out of the Question - Loneliest of Avenues / The Desperate Man Lyrics

It's nights like this I feel alone
A message left upon the tone
Another dollar, 'nother day
Time to throw it all away
I sit alone in a quiet room
Feelin' the same as I always do
It's an easy place to wander to
The loneliest of avenues
It's times likes these I never know
A broken thought from long ago
I knew it once, but I forgot
To draw the lines, connect the dots
I sit alone in a quiet room
Feelin' the same as I always do
It's an easy place to wander to
The loneliest of avenues
It's night like these I don't recall
A mystery I'll never solve
It's cold outside, or is it me?
Or something else that's haunting me?
I sit alone in a quiet room
Feelin' the same as I always do
It's an easy place to wander to
The loneliest of avenues
I sit alone in a quiet room
Feelin' the same as I always do
It's an easy place to wander to
The loneliest of avenues
It's lonely here inside my mind
The kind that doesn't fade in time
My broken thoughts collecting dust
A lack of feeling, lack of trust
I find it hard to speak at times
But silence breeds the darkest crimes
It's getting loud inside my head
These kinds of things are never said
Like the monster in your dreams
Things aren't always what they seem
It's funny how, with open eyes
Even truths look just like lies
I'm running out of patience, I'm
Running out I'm wasting time
I'm counting on a changing mind
And while I count, I'm losing mine
In desperate times, the desperate man
Wages all, because he can
Not one to think, not one to plan
He goes all-in on any hand
I played it off the best I could
But didn't fold the way I should
A pair of twos, my bluffs been called
The deck was stacked to watch me fall
