House of Cards

[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] [Female Melodic Bridge] Bet By bet Stakes Rise [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: [Female Vocals] and you'll re-assure in me [Female 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: [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 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 [Bridge] 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 [Bridge] 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
