Matt Sucich — House of Cards lyrics

Lyrics

when the dust settles, and you can see the sky, but the leaves don’t seem to
crumble, where you lie/
when the smoke clears, and everybody hears, ive got a mind to clear,
i’ve got you on my mind/ i’m a house of cards,
just waiting for a gale.
and i’m standing tall, in the belly of a whale/ oh, and as i do,
i will start with the new,
and work my way backwards to you/ when the water calms, i will swim to you,
and i’ll work my way through/
i’m a house of bricks, up on quicksand, and i’m an old oak tree at the mercy of
a greedy hand.
when the dust settles, and the smoke clears, i won’t feel no better than a dead
man feels/ and when the
water calms, i will swim to you, and maybe i’ll die trying to/ ‘cause i’d
rather be a singing stiff, in some angel’s band.
just singing about my sinking ship, that was fighting for a sail.
than be the subject of your story book,
without a tale.
