Let's play a game of Russian roulette
I'll load the gun, you place the bets
Tell me who will make it out alive
Let's play a game of Russian roulette
I'll load the gun, you place the bets
Tell me who will make it out alive
Over and over and over again
We play the same old game
Cards kept close to our chest, that's where your secrets kept
So wear your poker face, hands to the fool, hands to the thief
And you can't see
My alligator blood is starting to show
I know that you know that, I know that you know
Can't call a bluff with a dead mans hand
My alligator blood is starting to show
I know that you know that, I know that you know
Can't call a bluff with a dead mans hand
Cut me up and wear my skin
Show me how to live
Tear me down, clean me up
NOW SPILL MY FUCKING GUTS!
Just help me find a way
Just help me find a way
Just help me find a way
Just help me find a way [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bring_me_the_horizon/alligator_blood.html ]
My alligator blood is starting to show
I know that you know that, I know that you know
Can't call a bluff with a dead mans hand
My alligator blood is starting to show
I know that you know that, I know that you know
Can't call a bluff with a dead mans hand
Put a gun to my head and, paint the walls with my brains
Put a gun to my head and, paint the walls
Put a gun to my head and, paint the walls with my brains
Put a gun to my head and, paint the walls
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know you can go, you can give up trying
Should of just called it quits
Should of just called it quits
Leave before it's too late
Now you know you can go, you can give up trying
Should of just called it quits
Should of just called it quits
Leave before it's too late
Let's play a game of Russian roulette
I'll load the gun, you place the bet
Tell me who will make it out alive
Let's play a game of Russian roulette
I'll load the gun, you place the bet
Tell me who will make it out alive
Yeah!
(So put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my fucking brain)
Put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brains
Put a gun to my head and paint the fucking walls
He is tired of repetition with everything that always goes on in his life, and everyone keeping secrets that he can tell from their facial expressions that's why he says wear your poker face. He can't bottle it up anymore hence my alligator blood is staring to show, andhe knows everyone else an tell that something is bugging him and he's on the verge of erupting.

This quite a cool song :3, the alligator blood means that the blood is cold and he doesn't care anymore

I think in the song it shows that he is tired of trying to live up to expectations and that it is easier to just give up
