House of Cards Lyrics

I have this house of cards

Stack it up in my backyard

Winter comes and it's knocked over

Always dreading next Octob-

Next Octob

Next Octob

I have this house of cards

Stack it up in my backyard

Winter comes and it's knocked over

Always dreading next October

I have this house of courage

Always broken, feel discouraged

People come and knock it over

Never, ever getting closure

Melt my wax heart with the fires of your wickedness

Felt the axe fall on supplier of my happiness

You knelt by the side of my tire while I'm gripping this

I felt every fiber of my being rip, when you pulled the rug

Sent you all my love, gave me indecisive shrugs

Now I'm being divided up into fractions of myself

Nah, fractals of myself

Bet you cackled when I fell

Like an apple to the dome, gravity sets in

Reality has been broken from within

The sky is falling down

I'm high above the ground

I fall just like a pedal

They stomp on me and metal

I use it as my petrol

These harmonies are special

I use them as my vessel

To wave about my message

My pain, my joy express it

So I'm here most the time, spittin' all these clever rhymes

I have this house of cards

Stack it up in my backyard

Winter comes and it's knocked over

Always dreading next October

I have this house of courage

Always broken, feel discouraged

People come and knock it over

Never, ever getting closure

The King of my house is a Jack of all trades

Could fall at any moment, like I made it with a spade

Took a swing at my heart with a club, hit a vein

Got impostor syndrome with friendships

The cost of this is horrendous

It's like a court in my head

make a racket with the mallet like tennis

it's senseless, so endless

Defenseless, momentous occasions

Weld together, like abrasions

Same old scar with a different location

Same old heart, just a different sensation

Played my part now I'm all out of patience

All out of patience

Same old heart, just a

Ay

Same old heart, just a different sensation

I have this house of cards

Stack it up in my backyard

Winter comes and it's knocked over

Always dreading next October

I have this house of courage

Always broken, feel discouraged

People come and knock it over

Never, ever getting closure

It's hard to breathe when you're fully submerged

Me swimming in this ocean, people call it absurd

Impossible to leave without a clear word

False hope is a sickness that can't be unheard

It's lonely in this liquid, and I know it leads to sickness

So I'm hoping I can ditch it but it holds me like a prison

And it shows me fake visions of a future so unwritten

Have to make the right decision or the cost will not surrender

Have to make the right decision or be lost to this forever
