Lyrics
House of Cards
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now you can't see the forest through all the trees we planted over the years.
If I have to I will suffocate myself just to feel alive.
I'll never win, but at least I can say I tried.
Is this the way we had imagined things all those years ago?
When we were young and pure things were different.
We had a dream. What happened? Life. Human nature.
Instinct. Survival.
We will never find a cure for hopelessness.
We will never cease to be the animals that we are.
Cycles repeat. And this one seems to be nothing short of a paradox.
We've built this structure on a foundation of bloodshed and war.
Just the same tessellating patterns year after year.
The heartbeats become breathtaking.
A warmers winters breaking. And summer bleeds into september.
As these seasons turn,
I watch you in the brimstone.
I have become the overseer.
But I will not be there to watch your house of cards collapse upon you.
Now you can't see the forest through all the trees we planted over the years.
If I have to I will suffocate myself just to feel alive.
I'll never win, but at least I can say I tried
