Deck of Cards

Shuffle the deck, lay out the cards
There's an ace of spades, a three of clubs, a jack, a king, a queen
Build them up a house, where the royalty is high
Pay a visit to the queen who is the monarch of her sky
But I'm climbing every layer of the house until it all falls down
I lay there on the ground, I don't know what I can do
What do you do when your mind is detached
from any other part of you?
You feel yourself falling down
I try to understand why everything I've known about myself
has seemed to disappear in a snap
My reflection is the epitome of a stranger
Tides of anger and anxiety keep on
crashing onto me leaving me helpless from
escaping the ground
Crawled up in a ball within the dungeon in my mind,
Locked away with all the fears the world throws at me time after time
I ask myself, "Is it gonna get better?"
It's only a matter of time
I feel myself falling down
I feel myself falling deeper in the ground
I try to understand why everything I've known about myself
has seemed to disappear in a snap
My reflection is the epitome of a stranger
Tides of anger and anxiety keep on
crashing onto me leaving me helpless from
escaping the ground
I should be the majesty of my own house of cards,
But all it took was one small push then everything came tumbling down
And every little thing is like the greatest deed I'd ever have to do,
and all I need is someone there to pick me up and guide me through
Shuffle the deck, lay out the cards
There's an ace of spades, a three of clubs, a jack, a king, a queen
