House of Cards Lyrics

And this house, is built of cards
And the earth, is blowing way too hard
Oh, because Dad won't stop drinking
Mom won't stop cheating, herself, and the family, and me
So I lie, beneath it all
Watch the King and his Queen as they fall
They say that diamonds are forever
Well, hearts aren't that clever
And the suits that we parade, they don't mean a thing
But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
But it tastes the same
So we'll roll the dice and play
Take our chances anyway
And if it's songs that we're banking on, my love

One in ten can save us from the sad statistic that we've become
It seems they've already won
And now a home, is going cold
I look at you, you look at me, and we turn and fold
Oh, it seems that I just can't stop drinking
Oh, and you, you can't stop cheating yourself, and our family, and me
But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
Oh, but it tastes the same
So we'll roll the dice and play
Take our chances anyway
And if it's songs that we're banking on, my love
One in ten can save us from the sad statistic that we've become
It seems they've already won
Oh, seems they've already won
Oh, seems they've already won
