Pachinko

It's an overload of senses in these halls of gambling Light up these pachinko parlours where the balls are clattering Flashing lights and melodies will fill the air it's real exciting When I'm stepping through the door a blinding contrast and escape Everyday routine is so depressing need a thrill again Spend a couple yens and get my dopamine to win again I am captivated like a siren song it's singing now Real financial strain I have to stop but I just don't know how Addicts view it as a pastime, rather innocent Best to not repeat it everyday, keep you vigilant Yeah, keep you vigilant I answer the call but it's a dangerous game Lives are gambled in a flash but who's the culprit to blame I'm feeling hope and despair, I'm bout to lose my way I've caught a bad addiction night will often turn into day As the lights get brighter and the noise gets loud I'm descending deeper into hell I'll never be proud Families fractured and their savings lost When the grip of the pachinko gets you, just know the cost Symbol of escape and hidden vices hide a true desire Is it part of larger problems or just entertainment though Here the daily grind is like a drug or alcoholic drink In this place a pulsing life of beats and tiny metal clinks Hidden just behind these screens they show a certain solitude We could go outside but this is home and showing gratitude City is so big and isolating need to get away You can exit anytime you want but you just want to stay Addicts view it as a pastime, rather innocent Best to not repeat it everyday, keep you vigilant Yeah, keep you vigilant Say you're losing your control now That's the last of all your money now Maybe you can sleep it off the ecstasy is coming down Next attempt is calling you will come around Say you're losing your control now That's the last of all your money now Maybe you can sleep it off the ecstasy is coming down Next attempt is calling you will come around
