Evolving Doors

He was dealt a bad hand, so of course he flushed it down the drain The house of cards collapsed on faulty grounds so he built again on new terrain He set his sights on new foundations with the intent to build anew Blueprints were drawn on solid ground to keep the plans from falling through The glassy house he was seeing through was nothing more than a mirage The games that are played are exercise, now he's exorcising all facades The deck was stacked from the beginning so of course the push went to the house Behind the scenes he was pulling strings while staying as quiet as a mouse His sleight of hand is David Blaine in the realm of those that imitate With every hand that's dealt he levels up, now it's up to you to speculate What you see as water he sees as wine, & he's getting drunk off every glass He just gets stronger with every sip while using adversity as a form of gas
