House of Cards

Left the pieces on the floor
From when you slammed that fuckin' door
Things are shaky but I'm
Crawling back for more

Felt the creaking on the stair
Acted like I didn't care
Told myself it was a quick repair

Hear a ringing in my ear
As I'm choking down this beer
It's the only way I'm getting through this year
The rest is still unclear

All I needed was some company to
Show me all the things I couldn't see
The crashing planes as we're changing lanes
The poison running through my veins until
Nothing else remains

I don't mean to interrupt
But I might just self destruct
Feel like I could use some deconstructing

Guess I lost all of my friends
Time for me to make amends
And stop seeing you through rose colored contact lens

See this is house is made of cards
And it came crashing in our yards
Now I'm stuck here picking up these bloody shards
So give them my regards

All I needed was some company to
Show me all the things I couldn't see
The crashing planes as we're changing lanes
The poison running through my veins until
Nothing else remains

Hope that something soon will stick
The candles burned down to its wick
And I've been feeling kinda homesick lately
Pretty soon the dam will crack
But I'm getting back on track
And there are people who will help me find my way back

Things are feeling less severe
I like the view from way up here
Feel a shifting in the atmosphere
The rest is still unclear

All I needed was some company to
Show me all the things I couldn't see
The crashing planes as we're changing lanes
The poison running through my veins until
Nothing else remains
