Lyrics
[Bridge]
Hearts
Diamonds
The faint sound
Of crying
[Verse]
As the cheaters leave their mark
On your back while your face is down
They see right through you, break your poker face
Leave you to pick yourself off the ground
[Verse]
In this house of cards, you've built for yourself
No wonder you're scared, it could all come folding down
You're all in, on the bid of a brighter future
Betting your trembling hand
[Bridge]
One
By one
They
Fall
[Angry Rapped Verse]
As the faces close in, the roulette wheel spins, the cards begin to fall into place
Deep down within the hole you spade, you beat yourself up
You club in the idea that it's you who played yourself
[Male Vocals]
When it's the joker's bluff
[Angry Rapped Verse]
The pain inside is wild, the ante builds, blind spots run amok
Snakes slither around you as they roll their eyes - the distrust You must've felt,
the sharp edge of each card dealt, I can't numb the pain
But I'll push all my chips in when the call is right, before you fold hear me say:
[Chorus]
When you can't see, you can hold me
Don't have to control or manipulate me
In any way, put away your games
I won't rock your house of cards, no tricks up my sleeve
[Chorus]
I promise I won't hit, I'm right here
I'll double-down on my stay
I'll never deal you a bad hand
You send a flush straight to my brain
[Instrument Verse]
[Chorus]
When you can't see, you can hold me
Don't have to control or manipulate me
In any way, put away your games
I won't rock your house of cards, no tricks up my sleeve
[Chorus]
I promise I won't hit, I'm right here
I'll double-down on my stay
I'll never deal you a bad hand
You send a flush straight to my brain
[Instrument Verse]

[Male Rapped Verse]
On this roulette wheel it's not just our chips that are at stake, is it?
In this full house of empty rooms, I'm a bit ashamed to admit it
But sometimes I cry aloud, all in a wager that you'll come to me
The games will be over, and you'll re-assure in me
[Male Rapped Verse]
That this gamble we're playing has paid off, I'm your queen, and that you're my king
I'm blind - I need your diamond eyes to shine through this abyss of black and red
Show me your hand so I can see the heart on your sleeve is still beating
I hear you shuffle through the halls, the thoughts inside your head singing:
